Evelyn is currently a Software Engineer at Microsoft. She changed her career from political science, to international development, to software engineering. It took her 17 months to break into tech by teaching herself how to code while having a full time job and raising two kids. She first got accepted into the Microsoft LEAP Apprenticeship Program in less than one year after she wrote her first “Hello world!” program in Python. She came to the US for college all by herself more than a decade ago, and worked really hard to become a successful career woman, in the field of her dreams. Her story is truly inspiring, and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode!
