Hi! My names Katelyn, or Katey for short. I love to travel,exercise,create, and learn! I would best describe myself as adventurous. Whether that is by trying a new food, skydiving, or challenging myself with a new programming language, I enjoy the barriers outside my comfort zone. This is also the main reason why web design has been such a great learning experience for me, as it continues to challenge me everyday.
