☺ Since finishing studying Psychology at University, I had been teaching English abroad.
I immersed myself in the culture and languages of in Japan, Korea and India.
Along the way, I met programmers around the world who showed me how tech can solve real world problems & have a global impact.

I joined the School of Code's intensive, full time bootcamp! This was a push into the deep end of different technologies & core soft skills through Agile workflow and pair programming. With this valuable experience under my belt, I plan to continue on this upward trajectory to make a leap into the field of tech. I have since been working as a software developer for over 2 years in tech teams solving real world problems!

Check out my journey here on my GitHub profile :) Feel free to get in touch on LinkedIn! ☺
