If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about Fullstack Academy or Grace Hopper Academy and how to best prepare for entering the programs, feel free to look at the “fullstack-me” GitHub repo I created that contains resources on how to best to best prepare and get accepted.

Around the winter of 2016, Fullstack was asking for interested alumni to be a part of the ambassador program.

The ambassador program involved referring students to the program and then mentoring the accepted students in exchange for a stipend.

Through this program, I created a lot of material that I felt would be of help to prospective Fullstack Academy students and was able to guide and mentor a student who got accepted to the new Grace Hopper program.

Although I am no longer formally an ambassador, if you’re interested in learning more about Fullstack Academy and how to best prepare for entering the program, feel free to personally reach out to me.

I’d be delighted to walk you through the process and provide helpful resources.

Initial Pitch

In the summer of 2015, I graduated from Fullstack Academy’s inaugural Summer of Code cohort.

Since then, Fullstack has acquired Startup League in Chicago and introduced The Grace Hopper Program, the first all-women coding bootcamp in New York City.

Today, I am a passionate ambassador for all their programs.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about Fullstack Academy and how to best prepare for entering the program, feel free to personally reach out to me. I’d be delighted to walk you through the process and provide helpful resources. 😊
