My prior career as a Radiologic Technologist was an enlightening experience that taught me a lot about myself and the healthcare industry. I found that my main motivator when considering a career is helping others in need and working with intriguing technologies to achieve this goal. The past 4 years working in this field helped me realize that some of my greatest strengths involved problem-solving and the ability to work with a team in a high-stress environment. While this career has been both exciting and fulfilling, I found that I still have an urge within to continue to learn more outside this profession. After some engaging discussions with friends who work as software developers and trying it out on my own, I found programming to be a fascinating way to utilize my problem-solving skills and as a way to access my creativity. This newfound interest has brought me to become a student at the Turing School of Software and Design. As I begin my transition into a new career path, I look forward to continuing to learn more within this field and finding new opportunities where I can hone the skills I've learned thus far, such as using Javascript, HTML, CSS, and testing with the Mocha and Chai frameworks, as well as leveraging my past experience to work toward creating new ways to support others.
