Hi! I'm Myra,

in Seattle.

About

I am a Seattle-based student in the Year Up program at Seattle Central College. I am using this site to re-learn web development and to showcase my work. I am passionate about photography, rock climbing, hardware tinkering, and high-end audio gear. Originally from Utah, I grew up in NYC before relocating to Washington, where my family and grandparents have been incredibly supportive. Outside of school, you’ll often find me exploring new hobbies or capturing life’s moments through my camera lens.
