My Journey

MY STORY

Everything Started when I moved to the U.S.

I left Venezuela to chase my dreams in the United States. I started working full-time and attending college simultaneously. All of which was in English, my second language. This was when things became challenging, but it made me want to succeed even more. I've worked the night shift as a production technician for three years. This was so I could go to school during the day. I was determined to learn as much as possible about cloud computing and graduate with a degree. The language barrier was challenging, but I always did my best. I learned to see every challenging moment as a chance to grow.

However, my life isn't all about work and school. I love salsa dancing. So much so that I even joined a performance dance team. Dancing lets me express myself, feel free, and connect with my roots. It's a reminder of the joy and passion that drive me, even when things become difficult.

My story revolves around perseverance, high aspirations, and seeking out opportunities when none are visible. It's a journey of reaching for success and growing stronger with every step.

From Ground to Cloud

I'm nearing the finish line with my cloud computing degree at Purdue University Global and am excited about it. I've also passed my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification and am now studying for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification.

I have also been attending IndyAWS meetings, an AWS User Group, where I've found a community of like-minded individuals. These meetups are more than just learning. They allow us to connect, share, and have a good time with people who share my passion. I make it a point to be part of conferences where I can meet even more people in the cloud computing world. It is a chance to grow, to be inspired, and to remind myself why I started this journey. These experiences fuel my motivation and keep me moving forward, ready to dive into what's next.
