When uploading a photo, if a user uploads and then repositions their photo (which fires our handlePositionChange method), then editor.getImageScaledToCanvas().toDataURL() works. If a user just uploading a photo and doesn't reposition it, the code breaks at .toDataURL() with the error:

SecurityError: Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported.

There is no img element to add crossorigin: 'anonymous' to, but I have added it to the canvas element. 

Here is the method where the photo upload works: 
    const handlePositionChange = (newPosition) => {
        setPosition(newPosition);
        const img = editor.getImageScaledToCanvas().toDataURL();

Outreach & Networking Plan

As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.

Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum, or anyone from your current network. Describe:

I plan on reaching out to Jonah Moses, an alum.

1. Why you want to connect with this person and what you want to talk about

• I want to reach out to Jonah because he's been active on certain Slack channels (salaries in particular) since I arrived here and has given the impression that he is happy to help current students with interview advice, the job hunt as a whole, and what life is like in the career.
• He also works fully remotely now, and I would like to know how that has been going for him since his first job wasn't remote so

Pair-to-Pair Code Review

5 mins

• Get together with your group and send a link of your team's GitHub Repo to the pair that is reviewing your project.
• Look over this guide with your project partner and highlight the pieces where your team can use assistance/you would like your reviewers to take a closer look. Fork this gist and send the forked copy over to the pair reviewing your code.

45 mins

• Follow the instructions to clone down the repo you are given and start reviewing the codebase. Take notes for written feedback.

"Tell me about yourself."

As I grew up I was always told that teaching would be perfect for me. I was great with kids, and I had many female friends/family members who were teachers as well. After two years in the profession, my suspicions throughout college were confirmed - teaching wasn't right for me. I found myself craving a different intellectual challenge and was exhausted by the many politics of public education. After some introspection I decided to listen to this original love for computers that I had had since I was in middle school. Long past were the days where I could change the code on all of my friends MySpace profiles for background colors, fonts, or layouts, so I knew I needed to find another way to work with this natural knack for working with websites. I discovered FreeCodeCamp and was hooked - coming home from work each day only to spend my time pushing myself farther and farther through the courses. Through the encouragement from my family and coworkers, I decided to t

Storytelling Reflection

1. Describe your 3-act arc by answering these three questions in 1-2 paragraphs:

• Who are you: Consider describing:
  • My values drove me to come to Turing because the social justice mission aligned with why I became a teacher in my previous career. I wanted to support students from all backgrounds to succeed, and worked in Title 1 schools so that I was able to teach the students who needed the extra support the most. By coming to Turing I knew I'd still be able to align my values with this new career path.
  • My Pairin themes are encourager, caregiver, self-confident, and lover of transcendence. I identify strongly with all of these. Being a caregiver, encourager, and self-confident were qualities that led me to a successful teaching career (the whole 2 years of it, anyway). However, being a caregiver was a such a huge role in my life that I was craving to get away from it, and needed to start focusing on taking care of myself more.
• Through mod1 at Turing I've seen my
