Marvin Hernandez joined Hopeworks last year after previously working in the TV production assistant field and doing some QA work. In order to take his career to the next level, he needed to grow and make new connections thus making the choice to join Hopeworks.
In only 5 months Marvin has worked extremely hard, networked at every event, took advantage of new opportunities, and made the best of his time here. All of those things combined have cultivated into a life changing opportunity to join the QA department with our partners at Holman!
“From the moment I walked into Hopeworks I knew I was in good hands, every department had my best interest in mind whether it be finance, networking, resources, etc.
The connections and experience I gained in just 5 months is incredible and I am so glad I made the decision to join Hopeworks. This experience has not only impacted my life but also my family's, changing the trajectory of our future for the better. I recommend Hopeworks to anyone who is looking to get into the tech industry or propel their professional careers.”
Congratulations Marvin!
