#Annalee Herrera
I am originally from White Center in Southwest Seattle. Prior to becoming a student at Ada, I worked for a non-profit
called Techbridge and taught girls in my community about opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. I chose to make a career change in Software Development to make a change
in not only the neighborhood I grew up in, but the world around me. I am driven by the desire to increase accessibility of knowledge and opportunity in STEM through rising as a leader in software development.
I have a scientific background in environmental science and biotechnology, having worked extensively in Hawaii's conservation field as an environmental scientist.
I am most interested in learning how to write "beautiful code" that is easy to understand and high in functionality and efficiency. I am especially curious about how large data sets can be used to personalize user and customer experience.
I hope to gain the necessary tools and skills in software development through
