Who Am I

I'm Becca Williams, a former IT Specialist who is reskilling for a new yet related technology field. I'm a quiet, thoughtful woman and hope to be employed as a programmer sometime before March 2021 when I get married.

While at the University of West Florida (in Pensacola), I was active with the mental health awareness group Active Minds along with a large on-campus ministry known as Baptist Collegiate Ministries and spent most of my free time at my local church with members who became like a second family to me.
