00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:06,860
I had plateaued at my previous job and
I was looking for

2
00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:10,410
something different and Treehouse was
able to come in to save the day for me.

3
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:13,480
I wanted to do something
that I could create.

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,700
We were expecting our first child and

5
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:19,540
I knew that I would want a position
where I could maybe work remotely, and

6
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:22,870
just have the flexibility to
spend time with my daughter.

7
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:27,750
My husband, I would see him doing like a
lot of coding different side projects and

8
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:29,490
I would say, what is that?

9
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:30,170
What are you doing?

10
00:00:30,170 --> 00:00:31,500
Your screen looks colorful.

11
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:35,700
When I initially started with Treehouse,
I didn't have any experience with coding,

12
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:40,040
and slowly but surely I began building
websites abd I had a portfolio.

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,920
So now whenever I apply for jobs,
I could say this is what I've done.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,145
I don't have a four year degree, but
I learned this at Treehouse in a year,

15
00:00:48,145 --> 00:00:50,438
so imagine what I can do for
you in a year.

16
00:00:50,438 --> 00:00:55,503
My name is Ashley Hart and
I used Treehouse

17
00:00:55,503 --> 00:01:01,303
just to learn how to code and
it changed my life.

00:01:01,303 --> 00:01:02,810
