Dive into my experiences, challenges, and triumphs in the world of coding.
The year when COVID-19 had a profound impact on the world, leaving many with extra time on their hands.
It was during this time that I decided to embark on a journey of learning something new and discovered SheCodes.
In February, I successfully completed two workshops and earned my first certificates, marking the beginning of my coding adventure.
In May, life and work took a toll on me, leading to burnout: it was time to reevaluate my path.
Following this challenging period, I embarked on a soul-searching journey to determine what changes I needed in my life.
In a bold move, I decided to resign from my job (project manager in a communication agency) to become a freelance developer.
Despite my decision to quit, I found myself in a situation where I had to continue working for six more months. This was a really rough period that eventually led to a second bout of burnout and health issues.
So, by the end of 2022, I was even more determined to prioritize my well-being and dive into the world of coding.
I persevered and completed my remaining SheCodes workshops, determined to further advance my coding skill, especially in JavaScript and in learning React.
In July, I created my own business as a self-employed developer.
Since then, I've been on a non-stop mission to level up my skills, putting my heart into personal projects, working on my confidence, and diving into the ever-changing world of coding.
I'm excited to kickstart my career in the coding world, leveraging my journey and newfound expertise to tackle exciting challenges and opportunities.
Join me on this next phase of my coding adventure!
