On this episode of the freeCodeCamp.org podcast, Abbey chats with Lauren Mayers, a web developer working in Ottowa, Canada. Lauren hasn't always lived in North America, however - she's from Australia - and hasn't always been in tech.

We'll hear about how she transitioned from being a registered nurse into the world of coding, how she moved halfway around the world, why she loves the open source community, and what she's learned along the way...among many other things.
