Nashville Metropolitan Area
From an early age I was around technology. It was one of the biggest facilitators for me to learn because I have the learning disability of dyslexia. I became interested even more into it when I was able to help at a local computer store. As the years went by I went to college, and got my degree in Geosciences with concentration in Geographic Information Systems. From here I was introduced to the world of programming. Eventually I would land a job at MTA Distributors as my first Front End developer position. My second job was at NRT, and here I was introduced to multiple different technologies that made me realize that I needed to further my education. Upon finding Nashville Software School and hearing about it’s reputation I applied to the school and was accepted. This has been a dream come true for me because now I will gain a better basis on Front End skills and Back End skills.
