Welcome to my website! And thank you for taking a few moments to
explore it. I'm using this webpage to display just a few of my
technical proficiencies along with some personal life details, which
you'll see as you journey through it.
My website includes five different pages which you can navigate
through using the menu bar at the top. You're currently on the
Homepage, which includes four main sections. This is the Welcome
section, which includes a short description of what this website is
about and one of my favorite Spotify playlists. Next is an About
section that describes who I am, and a picture of me. This is followed
by a Professional section, which offers a snapshot of my current skill
set and future career goals. Finally, the homepage is concluded with a
Projects section which has at least one of my school projects and a
personal project.
Welcome
Me, Myself, and I
My name is Charity Holmes and I'm Indiana University alumna, having
attained a Bachelor's degree in Informatics with minors in both Human
Centered Computing and Web Design/Development. I genuinenly enjoy
coding and web development and I'm ready to bring these skills into
the real world.
I'm motivated by my desire to attain stability for myself and my loved
ones. I also would love to give back to my community. I want to
continue to foster within myself, an ever increasing sense of empathy
as I am constantly exposed to the needs of others. Giving back will
reinforce gratitude by reminding me that there is a world bigger than
myself, and it will hold me accountable to all that I am capable of
contributing. I am heavily motivated by the chance to give back to a
community that has provided me with so much.
My Elevator Pitch
Please take the time to hear more about my proficiencies. I have an extensive customer service background, and with my technical skills I'm currently looking for a position that will allow me to blend both.
Waste Warrior
I had the pleasure of working with three other classmates in my Capstone course to create a digital tool to help restaurants fight food waste. By using real restaurant data, the system will track inventory, analyze waste patterns, and offer personalized recommendations for sustainable practices, all in an easy-to-use interface.

Project Description: Uses Google MyMaps to map out three
epic journeys in Greek Mythology, (Odysseus in the Odyssey, Jason
and Medea in the Argonautica, and Aeneas in the Aeneid). Each
annotation includes a citation and a brief description of what
happened at each stop. Also included a group paper analyzing most
patterns observed within the maps.

When Death Does Her Part
Project Description: Poorly written poetry by yours truly!
This isn't necesarily a project, rather just a fun pasttime. I like
to dramatise some of my life experiences with poetry. Most of them
are a little pretentious and somewhat cringe but I always feel a lot
better after writing them. This is the reason why I quoted Jane
Austen's Pride and Prejudice in the book description. She expresses
that while most everything will nourish what's already a strong
feeling, a good sonnet or in my case a regular degular poem can
starve away a "slight, thin sort of inclination" entirely, and I've
found this to be very true.
