πββοΈ Before SheCodes
Say hi to Disha π! Originally from India and now living in England, UK, Disha enjoys listening to music and podcasts, especially on interesting topics, and finds peace in reading spiritual books π.
Before SheCodes, Disha worked as a Physics and Math teacher. Her role involved problem-solving, clear communication, staying organized, and continuously learning. Teaching helped her build a strong foundation in these areas, but she has always had a curiosity for IT since her college days.
βI decided to transition to a career in IT, and when I began exploring various avenues, coding stood out as a compelling starting point. During my research, I came across SheCodes and found it to be an excellent opportunity to kickstart my coding journey.β
When she relocated to the UK, she saw it as the perfect opportunity to explore her passion for technology and coding, something she hadnβt had the chance to pursue earlier. While researching, she found our coding workshops and realized it was the ideal place to start her journey into the world of coding! π
π©βπ» Her SheCodes Experience
Dishaβs experience with SheCodes has been both rewarding and exciting. She appreciated the well-structured workshops, which provided her with the opportunity to learn the coding skills she needed for her career transition.
βI was particularly drawn to the structured workshops and potential to acquire valuable coding skills, making it an ideal choice for my career transition.β
One of the highlights of her journey was the series of 'aha' moments she encountered along the way. From the thrill of creating her first pop-up using JavaScript to successfully making API calls to fetch weather data, Disha felt a strong sense of accomplishment and excitement as she delved deeper into the world of coding. π»β¨
π How SheCodes has Helped to Change Her Life
Thanks to SheCodes, Disha successfully transitioned into Cyber Security, getting a role at Sky, the broadcaster and telecommunications company. π SheCodes provided her with a solid foundation in coding, which set her on the right path for a career in IT.
βAfter SheCodes, I started working in Cyber Security at Sky, the broadcaster and telecommunications company. The skills and knowledge gained through SheCodes not only gave me a good start but also paved the way for my transition into cybersecurity. β
