Frequently Asked Questions

Including my time in college before I changed majors (when I first learned basic Python and HTML) and the bootcamp I am currently in, I've been programming for about one year total.

At first, I was a substitute teacher while I was in college and I realized that I liked teaching so I decided to make that my career.

I wanted to pursue opportunities to grow. I felt like I was stagnating so I looked for opportunities to expand my horizons and pursue my passion of coding.

While I may still be relatively inexperienced in programming, my dream is to help develop programs and create novel experiences for people so they can go on unbelievable adventures in a variety of worlds.
