Courtney grew up on a farm in Hancock County, Illinois and attended Millikin University for Marketing and Music Business. After a business management and accounting career within the music, sports, medical device, and manufacturing industries, she wanted a career path that would challenge both the creative and analytical portions of her brain. She began coding and attended App Academy’s six month online immersive bootcamp for full stack web development. When Courtney is not researching new tech, she is teaching yoga, snowboarding, or exploring the great outdoors in Memphis, Tennessee with her husband and twin girls.
