I joined RISE as a complete beginner and young graduate. The training gave me the foundation to start my tech journey, and today I proudly call myself a web developer. I’ve built several websites, including my portfolio website blessingodey.com. Fun fact: I built this website too.

Before the RISE training, I had an interest in photography but didn’t really know how to develop my skills. The training helped me understand photography better and gave me the confidence to practice and improve. Now, I’m able to take better pictures and I’m excited to keep growing and using my skills.
