Transitions

Hello my name is Kaylah Jones,

I am a young professional, transitioning into a tech career. I am very fast with my hands and I am also a quick learner. I am always willing to learn something new, even if it means taking on something challenging. During my free time I love to work out and braid hair. I've always dreamed of becoming a cosmetologist and someday having a business of my own. I have a very supportive mother and 2 brothers. Being that my mom has raised all 3 of us on her own, she is my motivation and my strength. She is my backbone and the reason I always strive to do my best. I graduated from Gateway High School, a college preparatory, in 2011. Throughout my high school years I was a member of BSA (Black Student Association). I participated in a few other clubs and groups. I volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco up until I was old enough to become employed. When I was about 14 I began working there. The Boys & Girls Club is where I picked up basic computer skills and learned how to manage my time effectively. After high school, I got accepted into Year Up Bay Area. This is where I am currently learning all that I need to know in order to survive in the Tech industry and the business society. Here, I am being taught how to be professional, proper business etiquette's, how to be tech savvy, etc. I am learning so much and I believe that by the end of this journey my knowledge of computers will very much so have expanded and I will be able to say I am prepared for all that my future has in store for me.
