Today is my 42nd day in a row that I have worked toward becoming that cool coding woman in tech! I’m already making things I would have never been able to conceptualize a month ago, and having fun figuring it out. Some nights I have a hard time tearing myself away from my computer, and my dreams are in code.
I’ve wanted to learn web and software development for some time now. Unsure where to begin and completely intimidated, I found some online resources and eventually Flatiron School. Reimagining myself as a woman in tech has been more fun and exciting than I would have imagined. It already feels like I’m getting into the flow of it- building, testing, struggling, that amazing moment when I figure it out! AHA! It’s surprising how quickly the time seems to go. The Flatiron School community has been tremendously helpful and supportive so far, and I am becoming more excited than I am indimidated to be learning new things every day. As a musician and a creative person, I feel like I could really find happiness in a new career that challenges me to make stuff and solve problems. Looking forward to that day!
