I graduated from Colorado State University in 2016 with a B.A. in Journalism and Technical Communications. Initially, I wanted to go into the field of sports public relations, but after an internship with the CSU athletic department as well as the Denver Outlaws and Denver Broncos, I realized that I didn't actually want to pursue a career in that field for a number of reasons.
I took an intro to web development elective during my senior year of college and really enjoyed it. While I was trying to figure out which career path I wanted to pursue after the completion of my internship with the Broncos, the one consistent thing I had was teaching myself web development basics via online courses such as CodeAcademy and Udemy.
I knew I didn't want to go back to school for another four-year degree, and had no idea bootcamps existed until a Facebook friend posted about his Turing experience and I decided that I would go that route. I initially planned on starting Turing in August of 2019, but after getting laid of from my job in January 2019, I decided to jump head on into Turing and start as soon as I could, and started with the 1904 cohort in April 2019.
Hey Eric, this is a good starting draft. You have some good details on what led you to programming. For your next draft, I would encourage you to pull out specific takeaways/skills/values that your previous experience in sports public relations gave you that you're taking into programming. In that last paragraph, instead of only stating logistical points that brought you to Turing, begin to focus on "what's next" -- what have you enjoyed learning/doing? What are you excited to do in this career?
