Exploring the Road Less Travelled

From ASCII to HTML, I've navigated the roads less travelled in technology and life. Veteran, Nana, knitter, and web technologist looking to pass on my lived experience of self-discovery.

Welcome to My Digital Garden …

… A haven where I explore the road less traveled, unravel the complexities of my journey, and find solace in the transformative power of web technologies. As a multifaceted individual, I wear multiple hats: I am a veteran, a devoted mother and doting nana, a master knitter, and a website developer. Above all, I am a seeker of meaning, drawing inspiration from great thinkers like Adler and the Stoics.

I have always been passionate about learning and sharing knowledge. My journey has taken me through various fields, each enriching my understanding and skills. I believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back.

A Turning Point:

The year 2000 marked a pivotal moment in my life. I bid farewell to the RAAF and embarked on a 14-year journey in vocational education, specializing in web design and development. It was a chapter dedicated to finding healing and meaning, as I guided eager learners with meticulous precision, witnessing their growth and evolution.

My Journey

My career path has been as diverse as it has been enlightening. Serving in the RAAF, I navigated the complexities of military life while finding solace in teaching and technology. From the challenges of loading telex machines to deciphering the enigma of the infamous ration pack, I thrived on problem-solving and illuminating the path forward for those around me.

After leaving the RAAF, I transitioned into education, where I found a new calling in teaching web design and development. This phase of my life was dedicated to helping others discover their potential and passion for technology.

The Quest for Healing and Discovery:

In 2015, I took another transformative step, intertwining the wisdom of Adler and the Stoics into my personal odyssey of healing and self-discovery. Through Codemaster Institute bootcamps, I found a platform to inspire and empower aspiring web enthusiasts, igniting their passion for the digital realm.

Unlocking a World of Possibilities:

Today, my commitment to education and personal growth is stronger than ever. I venture into the digital frontier to empower individuals like you with the skills and knowledge to thrive in the vast landscape of web technologies. Through every thread I knit and website I develop, I showcase the transformative power of web technologies.
