Biography

Hello! My name is Emily Kral, I am 23 years old and from the Isle of Wight.

In July 2020 I graduated from the University of York with a degree in Mathematics. In my third year of studying I took part in the Erasmus programme and moved to Spain for the year to study maths at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid.

I am currently taking a Codecademy Career Path in Front End Development and am really enjoying it. When I was younger I wanted to be a graphic designer so this has been a lovely way to combine my interests in both STEM and design.

In my spare time I love to bake very chocolatey cakes, watch all sorts of films, and go on walks along the beach near my house. I used to be a competitive swimmer and still swim regularly, just not nearly as fast.

The Isle of Wight

The beautiful Isle of Wight where I have lived for almost my whole life.

Graduating in a cap and gown

I took some pretend graduation photos with my friends as our real ceremony was held online.

Madrid

Madrid was an incredible city to get to live in for a year.

Home-made cakes

I have been baking cakes for my family for as long as I can remember.

Ryde beach

Living by the sea is a very wonderful thing.

My swimming club

I used to swim five times a week, including before school!

Programming Projects

Here are some of the programming projects I have completed, all designed and built entirely by myself using skills developed on the Codecademy Front End Development Career Path.

Flexbox Business Project
