Who am I?

I'm Sarah Levins, a developer and consultant working with data and AI.

I am an advocate for beginners in tech, and my mission is to make it accessible to people who want to transition into a new career.

My journey into tech started in 2019. Armed with an arts degree, and over 6 years experience in the travel industry, I decided it was the right time to learn how to code!

I was part of theSheCodes Plus cohort in 2019. This six month part time course gave me full stack development skills, and agile development practice.

I mentor at beginner workshops and speak at meetups and events within the community, as a way to push myself to learn new things and share my knowledge.

What have I done?
