Hi everybody πŸ‘‹πŸ½

My name is Asha (pronounced like Asia but the β€œshh” sound) and I am currently a grad student in Media Design switching from a career in mental health counseling. It’s been pretty freeing and people have been very welcoming in the tech community, but with my only knowing HTML and CSS, it’s been really hard for me to do any projects outside of tutorials like freeCodeCamp or The Odin Project. I recently started the 100 Days of Code and didn’t make it through the first week because I didn’t know how to do much and the projects I looked up were beyond my skills. So! I’ve decided to join more communities, make new friends and get messy! I plan to use this site to help find projects, stay connected and give myself time to at least learn JavaScript before I restart my code challenge. I look forward to talking with you all!
