I have been working with Leslie to mentor her transition into software development and have been thoroughly impressed with her organization and determination in researching, arranging learning opportunities, and pursuing her goals. It can be a difficult balance to maintain a strenuous full-time job while navigating an educational program and training for a career change but she has handled it with composure and confidence. In our shadowing sessions, she has demonstrated an awareness of the business perspective that tech workers often don’t consider but can be a vital contribution and save a lot of time in the development process - likely from her business degree background. She has also been quick to ask questions, follow-up on concepts, take initiative, and has shown a genuine passion for the work she is pursuing. I am confident that Leslie already has all of the soft skills and the aptitude to continue to learn and improve on her tech skills and that she will undoubtedly make a fantastic asset to any team she joins.
