Career Highlight

Heather saw a gap in Professional Development offerings for students in technology. She partnered with a group of developers to organize a Coding Workshop for students so they would have a better understanding of the basics of clean coding. Heather worked with several colleges and universities to offer this workshop during information sessions, hackathons, and during club/organization meetings. Over the course of the recruiting season, the workshop was presented to hundreds of students and increased application flow as College Recruiting hired their largest internship program to date.
