Sophia came to Los Angeles from Uganda, where she began earning a living as a caregiver while sleeping on the floor of an apartment living room. Being in LA, she was drawn to the technology industry and learned more about it after being introduced to the St. Joseph Center Codetalk program. After interviewing to be a student in Codetalk, and making her way through two interviews, Sophia was selected for admission.
