Mary Rys graduated with Part-time Web Development Cohort Evening 8.

I began to transition from life sciences into software development in 2018 after my job working in vector control and arboviruses increasingly called for greater use of technology and the need for someone who could work with several new softwares. I had a limited background in technology and yet I found myself gravitating towards learning these new skills out of personal interest. At the time, I considered developing these skills as a hobby, but after learning about Nashville Software school I knew I had a means to completely change careers. I still maintain a lot of passion for biological sciences, and I hope to one day work in the intersection of technology and science.
