About Me

Tell us about a few:

  • Your education (completed or in progress)

I've heard about the Outreachy program through the FreeCodeCamp forum.

  • Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc, during the duration of the program?

I'm part of a cultural association that promotes science fiction to the general public through libraries and other initiatives but I will manage to limit the amount of time to it to the weekends and let the program from Mondays to Fridays.

It will mean the first experience in open source and in my career in the technology sector. It's my desire to switch from an administrative assistant and improve my life situation to a field that I enjoy.
