I am a developer-in-training with a passion for helping others! I graduated with a bachelor's degree in mass communications, but I found the field I studied, public relations, was not for me. I had issues with telling a story with facts, rather than presenting facts with analysis. My husband began sharing some of his work with me, and I developed an interest in programming. I went back to school part-time for computer science before my education was put on hold by a job and a move.
I'm here to develop the skills to help others in a more meaningful way. Tech is changing very rapidly and there are many new opportunities to use new technology to solve long-standing problems. I want to use my background in mass communication and in the service industry paired with these new skills to help change the world for the better. I spent about a decade in the food service industry and slowly began making my way to the tech arena. I've learned a great deal from my tech jobs, but I was not passionate about what I did. I want to change that. I want to be passionate about my job.
Next, I want to find a company that does something I believe in. I want a career where I'm excited to go do my work. I want to find a place to work where their mission and values line up with my values.
