Curious to hear what you did!

I started asking around who needed help, and turned out my aunt had a friend who was an MFT (marriage & family therapist) who needed a website done. It was pretty simple and quick.

I worked for my university’s recycling center, building out a new website in Wordpress. which started out as a volunteer project. I didn’t know much PHP, but I was able to learn on the job 😁
