Currently I am going through the Software Engineering Program at Hackbright Academy where I am learning full stack web development and computer science fundamentals in preparation for a career in Software Engineering. Having completed a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics in my local language Telugu in India, I had little knowledge in the English language. Once my children grew independent, I joined the ESL classes 8 years ago at the local community college and completed the required English proficiency classes for college. Subsequently I refreshed my math skills and then took Basic and Advanced Python Programming classes at the community college. Perseverance has been my strength throughout my life in raising a family, growing an organic vegetable garden with sustaining practices, creative healthy recipes at home, and resuming my education to graduate in Software Engineering program.
