“I flunked out of a bootcamp. Now I'm one of its directors.” with Navira Abbasi of Galvanize

​Navira Abbasi flunked out of Hack Reactor by failing the midterm technical test. Instead of doing the part-time remote program, she repeated the entire program and graduated. In less than two years, Navira became their Director of Evangelism. Join us as we hear her story of stubbornness, resilience, and discovering her own sense of self-worth.

​ABOUT OUR GUEST

​Navira Abbasi is currently the Director of Evangelism for Galvanize, serving as its brand ambassador for local technology learning communities in data science and web development. Her mission is to understand the needs of people and translate that insight into a solution or an experience that feels bespoke to the individual or organization.
