From Nice Job to Dream Job. From Nanny to  Becoming a Security Analyst. It takes courage, dedication, and motivation to change careers. This episode is sure going to inspire you and motivate you to never give up on your dreams.

In this episode I speak to Jessly Altamirano about her journey, passion, and interests. She talks about her hometown in Nicaragua and how her upbringing influenced her career choices.

She was determined to change the biases of people who still think that lifting heavy computers is still a male's job and challenges them by equally shouldering the responsibilities. She talks about the challenges that she faced from:

• Moving to a new place
• Uncertainty of getting a job
• Coming out of the comfort zone
• Working and studying at the same time

She was introduced to cybersecurity while working as a full-time nanny by an amazing woman. Stay tuned, as she will be joining us in the part one of this two-part episode.
