I did a pharmacology undergraduate and then a masters in computer science. This is my whole career changing computer science masters degree in 15 minutes. The program is called masters in computer and information technology at the University of Pennsylvania (Upenn MCIT).

I hope this video is useful for those of you looking to transition into computer science, data science, software engineering etc. From a non-technical background :)

About me

Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

I have accepted that I will forever be a lazy person so have since decided to embrace that. My motto is to always minimize effort and maximize outcome!
