Code, Class, Repeat w/ Nardos | Episode 5

On this episode of Let’s Tech About It, join me Caden Epp and my co-host Ashley Abongwa as we sit down with Nardos, someone who is already making major moves early in her tech career. From starting at Indian Hills Community College to landing an internship at Principal after just one semester, her journey shows what can happen when preparation meets opportunity. We talk through her transition from intern to full-time employee, how she balanced school while working in a professional tech environment, and what it was like stepping into a promotion so early on. Along the way, we dive into the importance of mentorship, networking, and taking advantage of every opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. We also explore the technical side of her experience, including what working on real-world systems has taught her beyond the classroom and how she continues to learn in an industry that never slows down. Outside of tech, we get into how she manages a busy schedule while still making time for friends, travel, concerts, and capturing memories along the way. This episode is all about growth, balance, and building a career in tech from the ground up.
