It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
About Me
My name is Moira Gerard and I study Web Design and Web Programming at Saint Paul College in St. Paul, Minnesota.
My hobbies include writing fiction, drawing, and video games.
I had no idea what career I wanted until I happened to take a coding class in college. Programming and web development felt like the perfect blend of intrigue, complexity, and creativity. I have only become more fascinated as I learn about how the internet works and can apply what I have learned in class to what I see in practice, and I’m excited to see where this career takes me.
