β¨ Why the change?
After starting out in teaching, I have realised that I love learning! While Teaching English in Spain offered me opportunities to constantly reflect on myself and grow, I didn't feel challenged. So, I decided to take on a huge challenge and started my first role in Tech at the School of Code!
In 2020, I was awarded with a First Class degree BA (hons) in Education, and an MA in the same field. I miss researching, studying, and producing good quality work that I'm proud of!
π¨βπ How has SoC prepared you to work in Tech?
I have learned a lot of skills in full-stack development! Each week, we've been working in an intensive internship that has focussed on an area in tech - from front end to back end, I've learned how to make and scale full-stack programs in just 12 weeks π
π² Fun fact: I have just moved back to England after living in Madrid for 2 years!
