She attended the University of Florida and graduated (2014) with a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Family, Youth, and Community Sciences. She knew her degree did not reflect the traditional route toward a career in technology so she became a lifelong learner. With the use of Youtube, Udemy, and attending a coding boot camp (Wyncode Academy), Lenora was able to transition from a High School Math Teacher to a Product Designer. Currently, she\u2019s one of the awesome designers disrupting the business VoIP world at IDT Corporation.  <\/p>\n<p>When she\u2019s not at work, Lenora enjoys spending time in her community speaking about design, mentoring students, and inspiring future creatives. Lenora believes tech is much more colorful and artsy than it seems. Through her story, she hopes to shed light on the arts and its place in technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wcmia-speaker\">\n<h2>Carlos Vazquez<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wcmia-speaker-description\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/s.gravatar.com\/avatar\/48acef21881dd4379fa26f4c970a08fc?s=80&amp;r=g\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p>US Marine combat veteran turned digital marketer by prank calling Fidel Castro.
