“I came to the realization that I didn't need to have an income that depended on the thing I loved in order to keep doing it and loving it. “
Julia de Lorimier (@jldelorimier) is a software engineer for Betterment, a savings and investing FinTech company. While studying abroad in Brazil, Julia decided to switch her major from philosophy to psychobiology. When she graduated, she taught SAT and ACT prep to high schoolers, while she pursued her dancing career at a conservatory.
Julia came to the realization that she would be happy, even happier, if she danced as a hobby instead of a career and began to look for new jobs. She found a role in the customer experiences department at Betterment. Julia took a coding bootcamp after work and eventually landed a job as a software engineer at the same company.
Julia graduated from Santa Clara University in 2015.
