STUDENT STORY
From Pharmacy to Freelance Freedom
She swapped prescriptions for prototypes—and never looked back.
Meet Natasha Brás
Skincare nerd. Beach lover. Digital dreamer.
A pharmacist with a background in dermocosmetics, Natasha always had one foot in wellness and one eye on innovation. When she wasn’t running skincare workshops or managing social media, she was dreaming bigger. The digital world was calling—and she answered.
She stood out from the Zoom crowd by always having her young daughter with her during live sessions, even bringing her to the final celebration—where Natasha's project was one of the selected few presented to colleagues and partners.
"I'm extremely satisfied with my experience in the NoCode Fundamentals course offered by the NoCode Institute. The weekly challenges provided a hands-on experience and truly prepared me to handle real-world digital projects. What stood out was the focus on managing potential clients—learning to understand their needs and build those relationships. The mentors were incredibly accessible, the platform was intuitive, and the entire experience was transformative. I'm excited to apply everything I've learned to my career."
