How SheCodes helped Anna transition from Social Media Manager to Content Manager!
🙍🏽♀️ Before the Delac Foundation
Meet Anna 🇺🇦! Originally from Ukraine and now living in Canada 🇨🇦, Anna loves expressing her creativity through photography, listening to good music, and going on adventures. She even has a funny story about accidentally oversleeping on a bus and waking up in a completely new city — a long ride home but a memorable experience!
Before starting her coding journey, Anna worked in social media management and content creation. Her role included managing social media accounts, posting daily, and rewriting tours for her company’s website. While she enjoyed her work, moving to a new country inspired her to look for opportunities to start a fresh career.
“I moved to another country and was looking for something that could help to start a new job.”
Anna’s journey with SheCodes began when her older sister saw a Facebook post about coding workshops for Ukrainian women and encouraged her to apply. It felt like the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill and build a career in her new home. 🚀
👩🏽💻 Her Delac Foundation Experience
Anna’s experience with SheCodes was both rewarding and enjoyable! She found the communication with the SheCodes team incredibly helpful, which made her learning journey smoother and more enjoyable. She also loved working on the homework assignments — they were a great way to practice and build her skills. 💪
One memorable moment for Anna was spending a lot of time trying to get specific conditions to work. Although it was challenging, the effort was absolutely worth it. That sense of accomplishment made the learning process even more exciting! 🚀
“I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make the conditions work in a specific way, but it was worth it for sure.”
