Through my journey as a professional modern dancer and yoga/fitness instructor I found an interest in learning to code. Finally, I decided it was time I stop thinking about it and start learning. While performing professionally for Artichoke Dance Company, a company member I danced with was a full time Software Engineer while dancing professionally part time. Once I started to teach myself to code I would often ask him questions on what I had just learned. I thought it was so great to be asking coding advice from a fellow dancer, I never would have thought! Also, through my career in yoga and fitness with Corepower Yoga and Jane DO I have had the pleasure of connecting with so many awesome professionals in the tech industry I knew coding was the perfect next step for me. Shortly after I began my coding journey, my husband and I moved to San Francisco from NYC due to a new job opportunity. While in San Francisco, I found Rithm Schoolcoding bootcamp and after doing my research I knew I had to interview. I am now a graduate of Rithm school and ready to start my new journey in the tech industry! My journey to becoming a Software Engineer has definitely been a non-traditional one, but I wouldn't change it. It has made me the engineer and person I am today. I now work as a product engineer at Carrot Fertility!
