Paola Guitian

My name is Paola Guitian and I am currently a Software Development Engineer for Xevo Inc. Since graduating CEA in 2010, I have graduated from FIU with a B.S. in Computer Science, completed a Coding Bootcamp Certification and started my career as a Software Developer. I have gotten to where I am today because of the fundamental skills I learned at my time at Conchita. CEA taught me to have confidence in myself no matter what. The confidence to fail and try again, to give it my all until I got it done. Without my confidence I would not have achieved what I have done up to now nor what I will do in the future. Along with confidence, CEA taught me the value of speaking up. If something is not right or immoral, you speak out. If you are confident in your knowledge, you speak up and you defend yourself. Let your voice be heard. Speak up and make a change, or better said in the words of the CEA principals “Be the change you want to see in the world”. At CEA I did not just learn learn Math,Science, Literature etc… I learned values that have made me who I am today. I know that if were not for Conchita Espinosa Academy, I would not be where I am today. Thank you CEA for giving me all the lessons, love and values I needed to become who I wanted to be.
