Karla Nichols graduated with Web Development Cohort 55.

After years of working as a senior Cosmetologist I decided to take the leap into a new career path. I have always had a knack for figuring out how things work and using that knowledge to find new ways to solve problems. Software Development was the perfect direction for me to go with my problem solving abilities, team driven leadership skills and a love for continued learning.
