Tracy’s Story

Tracy

Cohort 3

“Groundbreaker opened a world I never imagined.”

Before joining the program, I used to feel lost and unsure about my future, juggling small jobs with little pay and constant exhaustion. I didn’t even know what software engineers really did, I thought it meant repairing computers.

Groundbreaker put me on the right path, sponsored my training, and opened a world I never imagined. With zero tech knowledge but plenty of passion, I learned to build and maintain apps from scratch.

Today, I’m proud to work as a Software Engineer at Xylophone Technologies, an opportunity my younger self would never have dared to dream about. My job now helps me support my family. The kindness of the people who funded my education inspired me to do the same. Now I contribute to charity whenever I can, so others can have the chance to build a better future, too.
