In my undergraduate period, I majored in Exercise Science/Kinesiology, so I can one day get into graduate school for physical therapy. Physical therapy has left a huge impact in my life after I subluxated both my shoulders from collegiate wrestling in high school. I was able to recover from the injuries, surpass my physical limitations, and now I am able to enjoy my daily life. I wanted to help people recover and move forward like how I was able to in the past.

In the end, I made a decision of leaving my job to pursue a new goal. It was a great learning experience after graduating from college, and I am thankful for the opportunity I had there. I worked in a restaurant for the time being, until I had some guidance and support from my family and friends to get into coding. Even though I was primarily focused with kinesiology, I always had interest on how these social platforms or apps were functionally made to work. I had some very basic knowledge with HTML back when MySpace was trending. DigitalCrafts, a coding bootcamp, helped me understand and captivated me to become a software engineer! I started from snipping some lines on a HTML file for a layout to making my own projects and functional apps by working along with teams. I am able to implement and learn more languages and technologies, even with a different background.
