My Decision to Have a Preventative Bilateral Mastectomy
About 11 years ago, after my mom's breast cancer diagnosis, I found out that I tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation. You can read more about that journey here.

Bloganuary #7: What do you like most about your writing?
This is something I've never really thought about before.

Photo by Florian Klauer on Unsplash I suppose I like that my writing tends to be very… Continue reading Bloganuary #7: What do you like most about your writing?
Bloganuary #6: Who is someone that inspires you and why?

What is a Software Quality Engineer?
I wrote not too long ago about my "day job" but didn't really go into the details of exactly what it is that I do. Most of the time, I tell people I'm a Software Developer, because that's what I was for awhile, how I got into my current work, and doesn't take any explanation… Continue reading What is a Software Quality Engineer?
