What Could YOUR Experience Be Like?

"I absolutely loved meeting with all of the women in our cohort twice a week. Sometimes behind a stay at home can be lonely and it's always refreshing to talk to another adult, especially another mom during those, sometimes, long days at home. I love that, in addition to learning an amazing new skill, I also gained some new wonderful friends!"

"I am so glad I took a leap of faith and enrolled in MCA. I feel that way even though I didn't finish it. I learned valuable skills and made amazing connections. It was definitely a push out of my comfort zone. But it helped me realize I can do hard things. The course helped me to test, and then eventually trust in my own intelligence. For anyone thinking about taking that leap, do it! It's possible, and you will succeed! Trust the course and ask all the questions!!! "

"When I signed up for Alicia’s code camp, I thought I’d learn how to code. I didn’t know that I would develop more skills than simply coding. Yes, I learned how to code, how to ask questions, how to find answers—all important in the tech world. But more than that, I learned and could explicitly state my core values, my confidence in problem solving and making decisions increased, I developed more resilience, my relationship with my kids and husband was strengthened, and I had found a community of women who held similar values as I did. To say that this has opened doors of possibilities seems like an understatement, I feel like I stepped into a whole new world, I didn’t know was out there!"

"Alicia was my first ever representation of a woman in Computer Science. She showed me that I can be a developer and pushed me to apply to programming jobs on campus even without much experience. She made me realize that I had something to offer."

- Colleen K (Student from BYU - now a Senior Software Engineer)

"I had the privilege of being mentored by Alicia and I cannot emphasize enough how invaluable her guidance has been throughout my learning journey.
From day one, Alicia exhibited an unparalleled commitment to our success. Her deep expertise in the field of software engineering was evident in every interaction we had. She created a supportive and inclusive learning environment where no question was too small or too basic. This not only boosted my confidence but also encouraged me to actively engage with the material and seek out additional challenges."
