Honestly it started as a way to get a better job. I had graduated with a degree in Physics and French, and after attempting to get a policy-related job in DC, I ended up working as a tutor for high school students. During the second year, when I was teaching the same material for the second time, I found that it wasn't as fulfilling and didn't have the kind of long term growth I was interested in.

After entering the industry (self-taught my way to getting paid for front-end work), I've come to greatly enjoy tech and computer science, and since then I've pursued additional formal education and have had some great personal growth. While it started as a way to find gainful employment, I'm very glad that it has blossomed into something much larger than that for me.
