It was an old spark, I’ve always been interested and curious about programming, since I started writing command lines on MS-DOS to load my favourite games when I was about 5 years old, I then played with HTML and CSS in high school which I thought was super fun but when it came down to choose what to pursue in university the love for healthcare, understanding the human body and helping people spoke louder.

I then finished my Nursing degree but always kept doing code challenges over the course of the years. My husband is a software developer so he also inspired me to continue coding.
The big turnover for me was when in 2015, whilst working in a major neonatal ICU in London I found myself still writing nursing notes on paper and that was when I realised that maybe I could help through software development, so that kept on the back of my mind and 5 years later I decided to actually switch careers and join a software development program. I now work as a frontend developer within the e-healthcare industry developing apps that will help patients/healthcare professionals and being able to use my clinical experience in my new career feels awesome 🙂
