<h3>Meet Nikiya: A cloud skills success story</h3>
Introducing Nikiya Simpson, a mom of three out of Little Rock Arkansas, who wears many hats: She’s a full stack engineer at a technology-based healthcare company and is pursuing her master’s degree in AI and Human-Computer Interaction at Georgia Tech, all while managing an active household.
Nikiya, an avid learner on <a href="https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Google Cloud Skills Boost</a>, tackles cloud challenges at work by utilizing on-demand learning labs during breaks. These labs provide her with hands-on experience with Google Cloud products and concepts related to Kubernetes, data processing, and application development. By acquiring targeted, validated skills with skill badges, Nikiya significantly enhanced her resume and career.
“I was able to directly apply the skills obtained by earning skill badges in my career as a software engineer. I know more about cloud infrastructure, logging and monitoring, and how to create new solutions in ways that make me a better engineer. I’m also able to help people in my community spin up new projects, as well as explore new project ideas of my own.”
Now, Nikiya continues to earn Google Cloud skill badges to advance her skillset, and even achieved the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/learn/certification/cloud-engineer">Associate Cloud Engineer certification</a>, giving her the industry credibility needed to take on more complex projects at work. She even mentors aspiring cloud developers as an ambassador within the <a href="https://developers.google.com/womentechmakers" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Women Techmakers program.</a>
Discover how <a href="https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Google Cloud Skills Boost</a> and Google Cloud credentials fueled Nikiya's engineering journey. Check out her story here:</div>
