Hi, My name is Robin. I live in Los Angeles, and like many creative people in this city, I am a freelancer. I have loved working in my

industry full time and meeting my amazing clientele and building my current businesses over the past 14 years.

After over a decade of feelancing, I have decided to expand my horizons and pursue a new career in the tech field. I am excited to continue my education and my creative interests in design, psychology and research.

That said, I love what I do now, and I am not retiring from my current industry. I plan to continue working with my freelance clients in a more selective capacity.

I am enrolled in a bootcamp program that starts September 2025. I have already completed the practice program needed to apply, and loved learning new skills in my future career.

Donation breakdown - where your money is going:

16k: Tuition (the first tuition installment is due at the end of July)

2k: New Laptop capable of running all necessary programs

2k: Books, software, and other associated school materials

My stretch goal is 30k. This extra 10k would help me with living expenses during the months I'll be busy with school and homework as well as through the job search process.

I have always believed in giving back to my community when they're in need, and this is the first time I've asked for help myself. To be honest, it feels a bit strange to be asking for help, but I'm hoping you all can help me acheive this new goal!

I am asking for your support to make this leap. With your generosity, I can begin taking concrete steps to leading a more fulfilling life doing something new, exciting and challenging, while continuing my freelance pursuits in my spare time.

From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all the wonderful friendships I've forged over the last 14 years, clients and colleagues alike. I hope you consider donating to my cause. If you can't, please consider sharing with your networks - every little bit helps.

I will be sharing my progress as I go and look forward to getting started in school and ultimately my new career!

Yours,

Robin
