My name is Emily and I currently live in Berea, KY with my boyfriend Ben. I have worked for the Kentucky Trasnportation Cabinet since March of 2018 and am taking this course to further develop and grow my coding abilities. My job has a heavy data component and I will be taking over the spatial database lead role on January 1 as my amazing mentor, Teri Dowdy, prepares to enter a well earned retirement. We use quite a bit of coding for application development, ETLs, data cleanup, and data processing and I'm hoping this course helps me develop out those skill sets and gain familiarity with new developments.
When I am not working, I thoroughly enjoy being outside and staying active. I love hiking, backpacking, shooting archery, hunting, sight seeing, cooking, reading, etc... I also enjoy jiu jitsu and muay thai which I started almost 12 years ago. Fun fact I have fought in both Muay Thai and MMA - and I believe some of those fights are still on YouTube. Although I still am training, I have no future fight plans and I am ok with that. Fighting was a fun and interesting part of my life but I've moved on to competing in archery on the local, state, and national level which occupies a good part of my free time now. Archery is also a little less taxing on the body than fighting was... 😆
