Maria Q. Manansala graduated with full time Web Development Cohort 59.

After years of working in military & government sectors, I decided to take on a new career. While active duty, my job required me to stay current with new technologies. In turn, that sparked my curiosity. Since then, my interest has grown & I took a coding course at Nashville Software School; starting my exciting journey into the tech industry.
