πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» SheCodes Success Story

Marie

How Marie got started in software development thanks to SheCodes. Marie began her coding journey with SheCodes Pro workshops.

πŸ™β€β™€οΈ Before SheCodes

Marie was born and raised in the southwest of France and now lives in Berlin with her boyfriend and 2-year-old son! She loves art and crafts 🎨, travelling, surfing πŸ„β€β™€οΈ and going out with her friends!

Before SheCodes, she worked as a content manager for a company specializing in the digitalization of promotional catalogs. She was in charge of quality control and publishing for online content.

But Marie felt like a career change... πŸ’œ

"My professional path is not very linear! I tried a lot of things and at almost 28 years old I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do, and what I was capable of doing. I was intrigued to learn how to code, as I loved web design, and I thought this could be a good choice of career."

I think a lot of people feel like this at some point! Marie happened to be browsing the internet and saw SheCodes adverts on YouTube and Facebook...

"I thought that being a developer required to having a master's degree, and found the tech industry quite hostile to women. When I saw the SheCodes ad, I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to try it, and maybe this would end up changing my professional life - and it did!"

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Her SheCodes Experience

Marie found that SheCodes arrived at the ideal time for her - it was during Covid restrictions, she was pregnant and had lots of time at home to study! ⏳

"I could follow the lessons and work on the challenges online. I started with the introductory course just to check the content and if I liked it. And ended up completing all the available workshops!"

Marie's favorite aspect of learning with SheCodes was the support of the online community - we have fellow students from all around the world on Slack, ready to offer help and solutions! πŸ€—

"Even though I was not attending classes for real, I felt that the community was very welcoming and supportive. And the amount of knowledge I gained in a few months made me feel proud of myself."

πŸ™‹ How SheCodes has Helped to Change Her Life

We think Marie should be proud! Especially with the career developments that followed her SheCodes studies...

"SheCodes gave me a new passion for coding, and with it better prospects and more confidence for my professional life."

Marie is now working as a software developer and co-founder of a tech company that she's building with four other women! πŸ’œ Now that is the power of women in tech - congratulations Marie on this amazing initiative! πŸ’ͺ
Β 
"Besides that, I'm a teaching assistant for a full-stack development bootcamp. I'm helping students with their coding challenges, and supporting them in their path to learning web development."

Imagine starting from scratch, knowing only the basics of how to code, and then learning enough that you can then work as a teacher to help other people learn how to code for the first time. πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»

Marie doesn't have to imagine that, because she's actually doing it! πŸ™Œ

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό Advice to Future SheCodes Student

Marie's advice? If you fail or make mistakes, keep going - and make sure coding is always enjoyable!

"Don't feel defeated if you don't understand everything immediately. It's completely normal. You'll get there. Keep coding, keep learning at your own pace, and have fun."

Marie's SheCodes Basics Testimonial
Β β€œI've wanted to learn coding for a while but, when working a full-time job, it can be tricky to find a course that offers a flexible timetable, and that's also affordable. I've really appreciated that it's possible to choose the 3-week workshop before eventually continuing with the more advanced courses. It's a great introduction and allows you to see if you're happy with what you learn. I had a lot of fun working on my first project, and cannot wait to enroll in the longer workshop.”

Marie's SheCodes Plus Testimonial
β€œI loved the SheCodes+ course and working on my final project. It was intense, and some challenges can be difficult, but Matt explains things super clearly and makes learning very fun. The team is so nice and available to help. I liked that there is also a bit of interaction on Slack with other students. I've succeeded to complete the course while working full-time and being pregnant, and I'm not sure I could have done it with a different course. I'm really grateful for this opportunity, and looking forward to learning more about coding.”
Β 
Marie's SheCodes Responsive Testimonial
β€œThis workshop is really useful for anyone who wants to learn to build a responsive page website. I've been able to build a pretty decent portfolio thanks to this course. This will be very useful to look for a job as a Front-end developer πŸ€—β€

Marie's SheCodes React Testimonial
β€œI am amazed at all the knowledge I have acquired during the workshops. SheCodes is probably the best place for a woman to learn front-end development. I can't wait to see what's next in my coding journey.”
