Janelle Tanner is a Computer Scientist and Georgia Tech graduate from Columbus, Ohio. Though she didn’t know anything about C.S until late in high school, “Girls Who Code” introduced Janelle to a whole new world. She talks about the ability to be creative within C.S and her interest in the intersection of media and computer science during her academic journey. We discuss the growing pains of adjusting to the different learning curves we face in school, in our careers and in everyday life. This episode reminds us that we shouldn’t be afraid to step into new opportunities just because they seem challenging! Challenges will come and there will be things we don’t know, but getting comfortable with trial and error helps us learn and grow!
