Learning how to code, create websites, and technical writing has given me a new level of confidence that wasn't there before MSIMBO, which was the gateway to a new life in tech. Thanks to the Urban League, I had the experience that awarded me a fellowship with Hack.Diversity which included a paid internship as a technical writer at Vertex Pharmaceutical.
