Cherisse Rogers
Software Developer | Artist
Summary
I'm currently a Software Development student at NAIT! As a lifelong artist, I have the skills to create my own graphics and create pleasing designs. I naturally gravitate towards front-end development, but I also enjoy working with back-end languages and database queries and hope to expand my skills as a versatile developer.
