Jenee Smith - Biology to Software Engineering

Jenee Smith - Biology to Software Engineering
Jenee Smith is a software engineer. She has a degree in Biology. How does a person with a degree in Biology become a software engineer? I’m quite curious to find out. I can’t believe that was always the plan, but of course I could be wrong. When she started the biology degree, what was the plan? When did she realize that software engineering was where she wanted to go? How difficult was it to convince a company to hire a biology grad for a software engineering role? So many questions, so let’s get to it!
