About Lela

Learning to code is currently my full-time job but I would love to help where I can on evenings and weekends. I have year of experience taking care of my grandparents who have had Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, chronic arthritis, cardiac concerns. I have also gained experience with medical terminology and care taking by working with high needs populations at two Community Health Centers in Seattle. Further, volunteering at Outdoors for All as a Ski Instructor has taught me a lot about working with differentially abled people and tailoring my teaching styles to accomodate other's special needs.
