From rock bottom to tech freedom
My complete story of going from broke single mom to frontend developer in 9 weeks
Six years ago I was newly divorced, broke, and had two small children to take care of — in a country where the average salary barely covers rent. I had just left a toxic job, no savings left, and no stable career to lean on. I started freelancing with what I could: some basic graphic and web design. But it wasn’t enough to survive.
I needed to find a better path — and fast.
💡 That’s when I discovered the tech industry. I used my last savings to invest in a coding bootcamp at @ironhack — learning JavaScript, React, backend and frontend dev. Just days after graduation, I signed my first contract as a junior developer.
It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t glamorous. But I never stopped learning, negotiating, and upgrading my skills.
💼 In 5 years, I doubled my salary and landed jobs that allowed me to live life on my terms.
🌴 Today I live by the beach in Spain, raising my kids as a tech mama with freedom, flexibility, and pride.
🚀 And now? I’m building my own company — to help more women like YOU do the same.
If you're a single mom, a woman stuck in a low-paying job, or just dreaming of a fresh start…
💛 I see you. And I'm here to show you the real path to money, freedom, and purpose — through tech, design, and strategy.
Si eres una madre soltera o una mujer que sueña con ganar dinero real en tecnología, este perfil es para ti. Te enseñaré cómo empezar desde cero como hice yo.
