Personal Stories & Connection
What brought you here?
I went through a grueling divorce and found myself wondering what type of career path would make sense for me.
I love to problem solve, I love to collaborate, and I enjoy learning. In the past I would become a "master" in my field and
I'd lose interest in what I was doing. With developing there is always ways to grow. I played with coding on a few internet sites
and found that I was staying up till the wee hours going through the excersises and really enjoying them.
What lenses or identities do you view the world through most often?
I view the world through my lense as a mother, as a woman. However I can see this changing as I spend more time working on
myself and learning to program.
What are the values that drive you?
My value for growth is what drives me everyday. I enjoy learning to the extent that I am not too worried about the outcome.
I enjoy the process.
How do you think you demonstrate those values to people around you?
I bring a sense of positivity to the world around me. I don't value negativity and brush it off with ease. I celebrate others wins
and I feel that I do a great job in encourages others in their own growth.
Could other people identify your values from your actions/words/presence? Why or why not?
Yes, I have been told multiple times here at Turing that my optimism has been contagious and people truly value the smile
I bring everyday.
