Meet Merrick
{ After attending two different high schools, Merrick decided it
was time for an even bigger change and graduated the summer after
her junior year. Following the tradition no one thought of,
Merrick then graduated college with her Bachelor’s in English
three short years later but amid a global pandemic. After college,
Merrick jumped headfirst into the insurance world but quickly
found out it wasn’t really her style. A couple short-term, odd
jobs here and there later, Merrick decided it was time for a big
change. That’s where SheCodes came in - teaching women how to code
and start their careers in technology. Merrick quickly found out
she thoroughly enjoyed coding and front-end development and has
been efficiently working through the whole SheCodes curriculum.
In her personal life, Merrick enjoys a little bit of each of her
hobbies on a regular basis - writing screenplays, reading, sharing
books on Instagram, creating pixel art, and playing cozy games.
Merrick spends her days alongside her three pets - a bearded
dragon named Zelda, a cat named Ocarina, and a guinea pig named
Hyrule - and her loving family, Mom and Dad, two older sisters,
two brother-in-laws, a niece, and four doggy nieces and nephews. }
