Emily Centko graduated with Web Development Cohort 46.

With an educational background in English, language, and writing, upon moving to Nashville, I began working in customer experience for e-commerce and tech companies. I developed an interest in the user experience surrounding technology—it allowed me to bolster my problem-solving and communication skills, and eventually, led me to coding. I took part in a 3-week jumpstart course at Nashville Software School to test the waters, and I immediately dove into the opportunity to enroll in their 6-month full-stack bootcamp. My career goal is to help build a product that makes a positive impact. I’m eager to learn, not afraid to ask questions, and I'm excited to find a role that enables me to constantly learn, grow, and creatively tackle problems. I've been on the search for a career I love, and I felt right at home in the world of software development.
