Becky studied elementary education in college, then pivoted into the tech sector after graduation. These combined experiences made her passionate about teaching technical concepts in a relatable, understandable way for all types of humans.

Outside of Old Street, Becky is an avid karaoke singer, traveler, hiker, dog lover, and brewery visitor. She also loves movies and TV, to the point that, when she was 7 years old, she ran away from home because her parents wouldn’t let her watch The Academy Awards (to be fair, they had warned her multiple times if she didn’t tidy up her room, she would be in big trouble).
