I've always known I wanted to be in a position where I could help others. I've spent over 10 years studying yoga and meditation and love to share this whenever I can to help people to find a deeper sense of comfort within themselves. When I was in college I was studying neuroscience so that I could better understand how our thoughts and behaviors were reflected on a physiological level, and I hoped to apply that to a career in psychiatric mental health. The irony in this is that through a career and passion in wellness I was working myself sick trying to balance school and several jobs.
When I met a programmer and saw their lifestyle I was immediately intrigued. Once I looked into the field and realized what a positive impact becoming an engineer could make on the lives of so many people I was hooked. Signing up for Turing school was a no brainer by the time I got here because I am now able to streamline my energy in a way that allows me to also take care of myself. I look forward to a career in programming where there are so many avenues that influence industries to be more thoughtful and aware of their impact on the environment and society.
