What role did ITSTEP Academy play in your life?
IT STEP Academy became my starting point in the profession. I gained not only the necessary skills but also self-confidence. The knowledge I gained at the Academy was absorbed naturally, making it easier for me to adapt to new tools and methods in my work. This contrasts with other courses I took later, where learning was less organic.
I am sure that our students will be inspired by your success and this will give them additional motivation. What advice do you have for them?
My advice is not to be afraid to experiment and be creative. If you have an idea, even if it seems unconventional or innovative, don't give up on it. Sometimes it is the unconventional approach that can be your greatest achievement.
