Ayomide Jones
My time with Kelsey at Lambda School (Bloom institute of Technology) made direct impact on my career decisions and focus in tech. Kelsey is super-informed, she knows a lot about everything, she never gets tired of listening and helping, she's nothing but phenomenal at her job. How she was able to manage hundreds of students in a professional and effective manner blows my mind. I'm so grateful to have worked with her and I'm certain she'd be a wonderful addition to any team out there. This recommendation is many months late but Kelsey, Keep winning, you are the best!

Kelsey Johnson is by far and away one of the greatest personalities I've encountered in my professional life. She was so much more than a Career Coach and Mentor to me and the rest of the EU and Africa cohort at Lamda School, she brought the best out of me throughout our time together. Subtly and gently, Kelsey shone light on my skills and helped me to manage my weaknesses to become the best version of myself. I credit the plethora of job opportunities I came across and my early career successes to her deft skills. A true genius, thank you for your work, Kelsey.

For those that do graduate, most will have skill gaps making them likely to leave software engineering roles or spend their careers underestimated and underemployed. By working closely with major technology companies like Cognizant, Facebook, Microsoft, and Walmart, CodePath.org is changing CS programs nationwide to increase diversity in tech using a system-wide solution.

Copilot

Jul 2021 - Dec 2021
Lloyd is building software to improve career navigation through behavior science and accountability. Research shows that 80% of life defining decisions are made by age 35, and most earnings potential is established in our first decade or so of working. Yet, among those ages 18-29 only 26% of people feel they have “a career” (vs. a stepping stone or a job just to get by). Lloyd is here to make tailored career coaching accessible for everyone. I was Lloyd's first Copilot (Career Coach) hire and had the great fortune of working directly alongside the brilliant founders, Dan & Nikki, along with their lead engineer, to envision what a scalable and accessible career coaching platform might look like. While I left to pursue full-time with CodePath, I love what Lloyd is building! Show less
