Logistics to Analyst

I was a logistics coordinator.

I was tired of feeling unfulfilled. Management was horrible, and I was very unhappy with how I was being treated.

My best friend Laura Rivera recommended Coding Temple and pushed me to take a chance.

Honestly, all of it. But I worked night and day. My friend helped me with resources and I kept trying and learning until I was able to understand it.

The most valuable lesson I appreciate is how hard they made the program. They pushed us so much and once I was in the real world, it was easy. I was prepared.

All of it. The community, slack, my cohort, the resources, Marlene, Nicole and Sam.

The job process was very hard on me. It applied for 6 months and nothing. It took a toll on my mental health but one day 2 offers were given to me. Marlene helped me a lot encouraging me weekly that it will happen and I believed her. And it happened.

I am currently in charge of my team, I am product owner, PMP and business intelligence analyst. I’m starting my master program Harvard University and my job is paying for it. My job has legit given me so much freedom and encouragement to be great. And I’m so grateful.

I knew going in how hard it was going to be cause I spoke to Laura daily about it. She kept telling me always show up. Just show up. It’s worth it. And it’s been so worth it cause it’s helped me get to where I am now.

Keep showing up. Don’t understand the materials, ask for help. Never be afraid to ask for help. Keep practicing. Keep putting in the work. It will be worth it as long as you don’t give up. Do it for yourself.
