Hey, I’m Sarah-Jeanne!

I studied music in high school, sciences in college and have a teaching degree in French (language arts). From then, I decided I didn’t want to teach, found a job as a trainer/tech support in a startup, and now work as a web dev there.

I’m really interested about everything that has to do with learning and being a woman in the tech world/industry.
