On Episode 37, Kevin McArdle, owner of SureSwift Capital, and Jac Stark, community manager for tech.mn, welcome Jenessa White, a Minnesotan developer with talent on the football field.

*Since recording Jenessa has moved on from her role with Software for Good and is currently working on some freelance projects and is open to opportunities. 

Jenessa shares her story of going through a bootcamp to become a developer and where she landed on the other side.
