Name and location display under the picture and not side by side.

I have followed along with the code in the video, but my name is showing underneath my photo. I have tried changing the sizes of both the text and the photo in case it was that they just don't fit side by side on my screen size but they still display underneath. Here is the code and CSS.

            <section class="row">
                <div class="col-lg-4 profile-info">
                    <img class="float-left" src="phoebe-tyson.jpeg" alt="Photograph of Phoebe Tyson">
                    <h2>Phoebe Tyson</h2>
                    <p class="text-muted">Valencia, Spain</p>
                </div>
                <div class="col-lg-5">
                    <p>Hi, I'm Phoebe, a self-taught, aspiring Front-End Developer looking for a Intern/ Junior position in your company!</p>
                </div>
                <div class="col-lg-3">
                    <p><a class="btn btn-block btn-primary" href="#">Send Message</a></p>
                </div>
            </section>

header {
    padding: 2rem 0;
}

.featured {
    height: 500px;
    background: #F99;
    margin-bottom: 2rem;

}

.profile-info img {
    max-width: 6rem;
    max-height: 6rem;
    border-radius: 1rem;
}

I tried this code and the photo and text appeared side-by-side.

Check that you're using the same major version of Bootstrap as the course (4). One of my gripes with Bootstrap is that new versions are never back-compatible, so if you are using the current one that would explain the issue.

FYI: I was testing with https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css.
