I was a travel agent when COVID-19 hit, which changed everything. I needed to find a new career quickly, and after completing a few online coding courses I decided software development was the way to go! NewForce is the real job experience. The program does a great job of replicating how we work on the job, while also teaching us to code. It's truly an immersive experience. I'm now graduating from NewForce and starting as a Data Engineer at Rev.io!

NewForce was an amazing opportunity to learn a new skill set in a relatively short amount of time. The fact that it was free was icing on the cake! My favorite part was realizing just how much I could learn in 6 months, and gaining life-long friends and connections.

When I was sent an Instagram post from GWV that showed a list of open positions in West Virginia, with a job title that perfectly aligned with my experience, in the city where I’m located I was so excited. It was just what I’d been looking for! That next Monday I gave them a call and scheduled an interview, and I got the job! Now I get to do what I love in West Virginia, working for a company that offers a great service to our community.
