Seyla & Shadow

Welcome to S&S: a personal blog/journal nobody asked for.
This is a blog/journal that I'll be using for my portfolio so I hope you enjoy learning about me if you read this! It's nice to do what I love while also taking a small break to write about stuff that soothes me. :)

S&S is dedicated to me and my dog: Seyla & Shadow. I'm Seyla and I have a sassy shih-tzu named Shadow. I love bringing her everywhere with me for we are the dynamic duo! We love to go on walks, Target trips, or even just relax on our deck. She sits there watching whatever moves outside as I do my work/code and I love every minute of it.

I'm a self- taught programmer who graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.S. in Biology - as you can tell, I'm not doing anything with it (but luckily I got a full ride and don't have to pay a cent). Originally I was looking into dental school or becoming a pharmaceutical sales rep. After much debate, I decided no to dental school since I had no enjoyment in that field. I was intrigued with pharma sales since the role would require constant learning and I always love to learn; I couldn't imagine not learning anything new anymore.

After being stuck in quarantine, I decided to take on a different challenge which is how I got back into coding! I took a computer science class my 2nd year in college and hated it (mainly because of my professor). Although, when it came to lab, I had a pretty good time and found comfort that others were always open to helping each other. I've explored different areas and have learned so much. I've gotten pretty with WordPress but it's also fun to create sites from scratch!
