Edna has never been afraid of computers. Her first computer experience was with deleting everything off of her parents work computer when she was 4, which required them to bring in a computer specialist to bring the information back. During her middle school years, she could be found in IRC chat rooms and discovered that she could access other people's Hotmail accounts by manipulating the URL string In early college she was very intrigued by being able to manipulate MySpace and created multiple different themes for it

For her early career, she pursued an education in nursing and then later moved to real estate, but eventually coming back to computers. She enrolled in a coding bootcamp, in the early days of the coding bootcamps. She excelled at the coding bootcamp and was brought to a company all hands meeting as a headliner speaker to demonstrate an example of the success of coding bootcamp graduates. She worked for a while at Florida Blue as a Software Engineer.
