I'm a Software and Data Architect for a school district in Arizona. I came into the field through the "back door". I got my undergrad degree in Economics, and later my Masters in Counseling. Funny enough, it's really through the technical classes in my Counseling degree that I developed a deeper interest in STEM issues. I guess I just needed to see it applied in that environment for it to come alive for me. Ever since, I've progressively growing in my analysis, coding, and leadership both personally and professionally.
