From studying pharmaceuticals at university, to supervising ramp safety at an airport (safety first, right?), life took me on an unexpected adventure. It turns out, a lab coat wasn't my superhero suit. So, I bravely waved goodbye to pharmaceuticals and embraced the world of airports, all while keeping a curious eye on the world of computers.

Surrounded by takeoffs and landings, I realized the skies weren't the limit—I was. The path I was on didn't promise a stellar future, and with a heart that always beat to the rhythm of bytes and algorithms, I decided to dive headfirst into the realm of computer science.

That's when I stumbled upon App Academy, a coding bootcamp that promised to transform dreams into lines of code. They say coding is a journey; little did I know it would lead me from zeros and ones to full-stack software engineering at Wayfair, the hub of home décor dreams. But even the grandest designs sometimes have hiccups. A layoff served as a plot twist, leading me to a crossroads. Was it a setback or a setup? The answer was clear: back to school, armed with a degree, and a fire to fuse theory with practice.

Now, with a degree in hand and a passion for coding that's burning brighter than ever, I'm on the hunt for a place to grow, learn, and create—where every keystroke is a step forward on this extraordinary journey.
