What role did ITSTEP Academy play in your life?

IT STEP Academy played an important role in my life by providing me with the necessary skills for a successful career in IT. It helped me develop both professionally and financially.

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 main advice to students is to immediately realize that most of your time should be spent on independent work and deepening your knowledge in the chosen field. It is also important to mentally prepare yourself for the fact that you will need to constantly learn in this field. IT is one of the most progressive industries, and in order to stay in place, you need to constantly move forward, as if you were running twice as fast in a mirror.

This path was not always easy, but it was worth it. I believe that my achievements can inspire you to new achievements and add motivation to keep moving towards your goals.
