Laura Beth Maddox graduated with Web Development Cohort 54.

Before I started my journey in software development, I was working as a floater/runner at a title company while also getting my associates degree in General Studies. I am grateful to have had the experience at that job because it allowed me to better my attention to detail and my social skills. When a family member introduced me to NSS, it interested me because I have always had a love for technology and I realized this field would allow me to have the work/life balance that I have always wanted. That is when I finally registered for NSS and have so much enjoyed learning more and more as time goes on.
