Bio
Dakota C. Fabro
Cherry as a teammate and classmate is hardworking, curious, and eager to learn! Cherry and I studied together and worked on similar projects in different groups. When I would host "React Parties" for the other devs in our program (where we would review React projects and concepts together), Cherry would show up with questions and curiosities on how to make her part of the project better and more efficient. Cherry is always upskilling and honing her craft as a software engineer. Cherry as a professional is diplomatic, honest, and transparent. I admire Cherry's humility as an engineer because she knows how to ask for help when she needs it. She leans on her professional learning community and improves herself and those around her as a result. She is a great problem solver and is eager to help others as well! Cherry as a friend and colleague is always looking out for her community--both personal and professional. She has a collaborative spirit and is always looking to build everyone up around her. I am thankful for Cherry and happy to be her colleague, friend, and fellow software engineer!

Cherry is one of the best among all the people I have ever worked with and is a prime example of a hardworking, empathetic, resilient, and astute team player. I had the privilege of working with Cherry on two projects during our time at Fullstack Academy. As soon as we finished our first project, Baked by Fullstack, an e-commerce website, I immediately asked Cherry if she wanted to pair for our capstone project because not only is Cherry extremely efficient and resourceful, but she is also proactive about reaching her goals and helping those around her reach theirs. Something that I absolutely admire about Cherry is the fact that she always gives any task her all. Whenever I’ve pair programmed with Cherry to tackle an issue, she was always able to clearly state the problem and all of the steps that she already took. During our capstone project, Lift the World, a progressive web application to track weightlifting progress, Cherry also took the initiative of learning, researching, and sharing resources on new technologies so that we could easily implement them into our application. Cherry has proven time and time again that she is a reliable and diligent teammate who always goes above and beyond. I sincerely hope that I have the opportunity to work with Cherry again because she is, without a doubt, an extremely talented developer.
