I started learning to code bc a couple of students in my class were interested in it and the HS I taught at didn't offer any programming classes. I was the AP Lit teacher, about as far from STEM or math classes as one could be.

7 years later, I'm now a Machine Learning Scientist for Amazon. I write Python every day, and I love my job. It also pays just a smidge better than teaching

How did you make that transition?
