Growing up without female tech role models, the tech world seemed out of reach. Instead, I first pursued a different career but soon realized that I needed a change. That's when my interest in tech sparked again. I took the leap and learned how to code. Coding is a powerful skill that lets you build impactful products to solve real-world problems. Now it's my turn to be the role model I didn't have: to empower other girls and women to do the same.
