Shaheera experienced tremendous hardships on her path to achieving her career goals. Soon after emigrating with her husband from Jordan to Nashville, TN, in 2011, she endured domestic violence, became homeless and struggled to provide for herself and her four children. She also faced challenges adapting to a new culture and learning English as a second language. Then, after hearing about Goodwill of Middle Tennessee’s Google IT Certification program, Shaheera worked tirelessly to make her dream of becoming an IT professional a reality so she could provide a better life for herself and her family. She earned an apprenticeship with Accenture and now has a full-time position as an application development analyst with Accenture.
