Some of my recent work.
April 2016
Hey, I emailed you a few months ago asking for some coding bootcamp interview advice. I ended up getting accepted into Hack Reactor! I’m on my 5th week and have been having an amazing experience. A fellow classmate noticed today that we were connected on LinkedIn and mentioned he was also a fan of your blog.
Anyway, thanks again for the advice you gave me.

Frances has helped me prepare for my upcoming coding bootcamp – I’ll be part of the inaugural class for MakerSquare in NYC. She showed me all the cool tricks and skills to make me a better programmer. She took her time and explained the what, why, and how. For example, she showed me how to optimize my dev environment. She also took her time showing me how to overcome challenges I will face in my cohort. I can’t thank Frances enough for taking her time and sharing her knowledge with me.
Thank you, Frances!

Your blog helped me make my decision to join Fullstack Academy and I always wanted to say hello!
June 2016
I had the pleasure to chat with Frances and to receive her guidance on all things related to coding bootcamps and tech careers. She was so generous with her time, and she shared with me the resources and advices that are beneficial to help me prepare for my admission interviews, Javascript learning tools, and insights on navigating the tech scenes as the beginners. She is the epitome of a “giver”/ caring mentor, and makes the developers’ community such a welcoming and inviting place.
Again, my sincere thanks to you and I hope we have the chance to reconnect when you’re in NYC !

Frances has been a great help in the process of my web development journey. She showed me what a good web development environment is.
One day, I accidentally went into one of Fullstack Academy‘s classes, other students had no idea with some of the things that Frances showed me. It definitely gave me a head start in my career in web development and helped me pick up things more efficiently throughout the process.
Furthermore, Frances’s broad knowledge in the web development field gave me a structured guideline in prepping for bootcamp applications. Her guidance has nourished me tremendously.
I just got accepted to a bootcamp, and I start my full time web development bootcamp in 2 weeks, and I wouldn’t have gotten where I am without her.
I know Frances will continue to inspire and help other future web developers succeed. I am forever thankful for Frances’s mentorship.
