Previous Episode: Vincent Abruzzo, Marine
She was always attracted to coding and pursued her interest while still in the service. Upon getting out, she went to the General Assembly coding school. She spent a year helping someone with their website and then landed a job at a startup in Des Moines, Iowa, which has a worker-safety system, with a badge that workers wear and a cloud service. Karla has a lot to say about resilience, self-confidence, and under-promising and over-delivering. Her story should be an inspiration to anyone who thinks they'd like to get into software but isn't sure they can do it. She did it and maybe you can, too!
