I made it to the end of the first project week! And let me tell you it was quite a roller coaster, lots of emotions experienced, but overall I did a really good job of sticking with it and pushing through the tough parts. At the beginning of the week I was really doubting my ability to implement what I had learned through all the Flatiron lessons and labs and now I’ve got a working program that I feel really proud of!
Hello, World! And welcome to my blog, I thought I’d start by introducing myself. My name is Megan and I live in Portland, Oregon. Back in 2015 I got my bachelors in psychology and speech and hearing sciences from ASU. The plan was to get a couple years of experience working in the mental health field, go back to school to get my masters in speech therapy, and become a speech therapist. So I got a job working with kids as a behavior interventionist and I did that for a little over 4 years. I learned a lot in that time, including that working as a direct care provider was too emotionally draining for me! My job was rewarding but when I got home I had no energy for anything else. I decided that I had to think of a new plan.
