Science and technology has always been a passion of mine because it can transform people’s lives and make them better. That is what motivated me for over 11 years as a Medical Laboratory Scientist III. As time passed, I found myself wanting to try something completely new. Then I came to meet the world of computer programming. I started taking online programming and computer science courses through Udemy, Codecademy, and Grantham University. I was faced with a dilemma. Should I continue with my current career where I am secure, or take a risk and really dive into software development?
I decided to take the leap and my first step into making it a reality was joining the Nashville Software School. In a one year, part-time, intensive training program I became more confident and determined in my choice. It gave me the courage to follow through on my decision and now I am ready to start a new journey in my life.
