Spotlight On: Liz Love
In April, we’re shining our spotlight on our member and fellow teacher, Liz Love! Liz is a Business Intelligence (BI) Developer at Pariveda Solutions. She has been a member of Women Who Code DFW since the summer of 2018 and originally joined to help her wife in her learning endeavors.
It’s no surprise that with her tenacity, kindness, and thirst for knowledge, that she has become a successful BI Developer. At the start of her career, she worked first on building trust with her management team, as well as her clients. She ensured when any opportunities to work with SQL arose, she continuously showed interest and enthusiasm, which lead to her current role.
Liz is one of our many members who inspire us to challenge our fears. You may have met her recently at our “Introduction to SQL (Structured Query Language)” course. We are extremely proud of her for overcoming her fear of public speaking while leading an original and fresh approach to learning SQL to our members. She’s truly an inspiration to us all with the way she approached her fear head-on. In fact, her motivation when she gets up each day is to see just how much she can accomplish!
When Liz isn’t challenging herself with enhancing her BI and general development skills, you can find her hiking with her wife and dog, traveling to amazing places, tinkering, and enjoying time with her family and friends. Don’t be surprised to see more SQL courses in the near future with her leading the way.
If you are interested in moving into the tech industry, or even just having some doubts in your current role, Liz dropped us some encouraging words to share: “Just do it! Don’t worry about being good enough, don’t worry about if you have this certification, went to that bootcamp, or have that degree. If you want to get into tech, just do it!”
