So this part of your markup is correct:

    <header>
      <section>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>

    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
      </section>
     <section>
    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
      </section>
    </header>

However after the </header> tag, this part of the markup is incorrect:

<footer>
      <section>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
      </section>
        </footer>
   </body>
</html>

You need to remove the <section> tag from the footer. You achieved what you needed to accomplish having wrapping the <header> around the <section> tag, but because this <section> is in your <footer> it is not valid HTML.

Refer to the MDN for more about the <section> element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/section
