Transitioning into tech does NOT mean you are starting from scratch. Say it with me!

'My past experience has value!'

'My story helps set me apart!'

Let me explain how I leveraged my story to help me become the Software Engineer that I am today.

🧵👇 I have 10 years of prior experience in varied fields across healthcare, public health, biomedical/clinical research, and fitness.

Namely, I spent 2 years in medical school and I contributed to research projects in 3 different organizations leading up to that.
