Outreach & Networking Plan for Module 3

Meetups/Networking Events: Identify 1 meetup and/or other networking event that you'll attend between now and the end of Module 3. Answer these questions:

Why will you attend this particular event?

I will attend Develop Denver Happy Hour in March, because I know some attendees from past events, and I look forward to talking with other devs.

Who do you hope to connect with at this event?

I hope to connect with a former mentor, as well as try to meet some other front end developers.

How will you follow-up with the people you connect at this event?

Slack, and I have some old business cards I will bring to the event.

Warm Outreach: Identify a mentor, alum, or someone else in the Turing community you will reach out to by the end of Module 3. If you have someone you'd like to reach out to outside of the Turing community, go for it! Describe:

I reached out to Rebecca, a Turing alum. We have made plans to meet up in RiNo during break week between modules 2 and 3.

Why you want to connect with this person and what you hope to talk about

I wanted to find a professional front end developer with the same Turing experience I am currently going through. I want to show her my Weathrly projects, and ask for React suggestions, as well as asking what the actual job is like.

When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

We plan to meet up in RiNo during break week between modules 2 and 3.

What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

I plan to follow up by asking how her work is going, and probably ask some questions about redux.
