I am Amanda Sierra Lopez. I am an adventurous, determined, open-minded woman. I was born in Venezuela, when I was 7 my mom and I moved to California for a better life. When I was 20, I moved to Europe and lived in London, UK, Berlin, Germany, and Deventer, Netherlands. During my time in Europe I travelled often around Europe, but also around Asia and South America. During my time in Europe I found my interest in coding and self taught myself html and css.
Coming to Turing was something unexpected. Before Turing I was starting off a bachelors degree in Software Engineering in the Netherlands but quickly realised that I was not happy with the schools structured and felt that I had not learned nothing at all. At the time i had been speaking to a friend that was a Turing alumni, Amanda Tjan. Talking to her convinced me to apply to Turing.
After Turing, I am aiming to get a job in Los Angeles to live close to my mom after living in Europe for almost 6 years and find a junior Front End role there. Eventually, my goal is to be able to work remotely at a company as I love traveling and working remotely would be a great opportunity for me to be able to live comfortably and travel at the same time.
Hey Amanda, this is a great draft. I really appreciate how you mention that you started with software development by teaching yourself. In your next iteration, I would recommend bringing in some details about how your previous experiences connect to your new career -- since you've traveled so much, how have you learned new languages? Describing that can help make connections to how you learn languages as a software developer. Also, think about some of the other professional goals you have for yourself in your new career to add to the end.
