Turning creativity into reality

Hi, I'm Alisa
Full-Stack || Marketing

Self-taught Full-Stack Web Developer with a passion for digital marketing and creative problem solving.

Introduction

Who I Am.

About me

I am a Digital Marketing Coordinator and an emerging Full-Stack Web Developer. After completing my Kinesiology degree at McMaster University, I began my studies in Software Development & Network Engineering at Sheridan College. I have since been building projects and learning as much as possible!

Coding & Marketing

I have experience using languages and technologies such as JavaScript, Python, Java, HTML, CSS, SQL, React, and Figma. Through my role as a Digital Marketing Coordinator, I have also gained experience using HubSpot, WordPress, Canva, Trello, and Zapier.

Hobbies

During my free time, I enjoy playing sports and exercising (what else did you expect from a ex-Kinesiology student?). I used to play volleyball and Olympic weightlift competitively. I also love to travel. If I am not at the gym then I am probably planning my next trip.
