Summary

Mary Albright's origin story begins with her being banned from Chicago libraries for excessive time spent on Neopets and Tumblr in her childhood. This early exposure to coding and automation through Neopets led her to develop a strong foundation in asking the right questions, which she carries over into her current role as Senior Content Engineer at Wpromote. Her experience in modeling also taught her about data management and the importance of automating tasks, skills she later applied to her work with Zapier and Google Apps script coding. Mary's path into technology was unique, but her story highlights the value of exploring one's interests and passions, even if they may seem unrelated to a career in tech.
