Hello, world
After years of dabbling with code, and working tangientally with programmers much smarter than me, I’ve decided to take the exciting dive into the realm of programming myself! For years I doubted my abilities and often excused my procrastination with “there will always be someone better, faster, and more creative than me.” And while that may be true, it’s no longer a valid excuse! I now have a 1-year-old daughter. And if she were to come to me with these same excuses I would tell her that she can do hard things. She should pursue something that might make her happy. She doesn’t have to be the best, but rather put in her best effort.

Practice what you preach, right? So here I am. Several weeks ago I was accepted into Flatiron’s Software Engineer Bootcamp and am so excited for what’s to come. My goals here are twofold: to learn some cool coding things, and to one day make my daughter proud.
