It's not about knowing everything, but how you can help yourself to learn and understand it.
About
Hi There,
My name is Marie-Andrée, but you can call me Marie . Thank you very much for taking the time to browse my website.
I have a wonderful job as an Administrative Assistant with the Government of Alberta, which allows me to work on a variety of side projects. While I am learning more and more about the Non-Profit sector, I have a job that I love and that gives me the opportunity to still work on the side, on a variety of projects. These projects are mainly related to all things web, graphic design and geographic Information system (GIS). I am often enrolled in courses, in my spare time, to improve my knowledge and skills.
When I first graduated in the field of graphic design, it was mostly about HTML and CSS, but now, there is so much more and I love it. I enjoy coding and work comfortably with HTML5 and CSS3. I completed an online PHP Programming Certificate where I learned to appreciate the use of databases. I also completed a bootstrap module from BCIT, and it is absolutely wonderful. The era of borderless online learning is endless!
I would be happy to discuss any of your projects and/or collaborate with you and your team.
Thank you,
Marie

In 2017, I graduated from George Brown College with a PHP Programming certificate. I learned to build dynamic, data-driven websites. I also studied how to design, query and maintain websites using MySQL relational databases.
JavaScript
I can use JavaScript to enhance website designs or help build more intuitive and interactive templates.
Websites are now expected to be responsive depending on the user’s interaction. I really enjoy working on a variety of creative projects.
This example demonstrates a designing game where the user can select different options to style the room.

Accessibility
Accessibility is definitely a buzz word these days. Using semantic HTML with proper elements and modern structure is something that I want to develop.
WordPress
In terms of content management system (CMS), I can work comfortably with WordPress. As much as I like coding, in some cases, there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

GIS Online Mapping
Often, I am being asked why I did a BA of Geography. I truly think location plays a big role in a persons upbringing and also is one of the factors in some business success.
I take great interest in geographic information system (GIS) and am always thinking of projects that could be useful or just for fun.
