Leila's Story Ever since I wrote my first line of code as a university student, I knew it was something I would enjoy doing for a living. Although until recently I always thought that starting a career in coding would require me to switch from industrial engineering to computer engineering. I looked up some other courses, but most weren't for beginners. And honestly, I didn’t know where to begin. Thanks to the 60 minutes SheCodes.come class with Matt as the teacher, I learned more about the world of coding and how to begin, and what I could do as a coder, and how to know what are my favorite areas of coding than I ever was able to gather from asking around and looking up the Internet.

🙋‍♀️ Leila's Motivation

I believe this course is perfect for me and if I received a spot in this class it would be the beginning of the path of developing the career of my dream. After my contract at my previous company was not renewed along with many other high-ranking female managers due to the appointment of a religious man as CEO who believed women's place is at home, so as a single woman I had to start working from home as a translator. Although it pays the bills, in the economy, I am facing in nowadays Iran, I am always behind. At some point, I considered becoming a professional translator in order to improve my financial situation, but it just wasn't my passion.

🤹‍♀️ Leila's Hobbies

Well, I have to work very long hours just to provide the basics. I am very passionate about nature and love to hike from time to time and I also enjoy long walks in the early morning through parks. I occasionally stream movies or TV shows since I don't watch television. I enjoy reading books with philosophical, or historical or psychological subjects. Handcrafts are also something I enjoy, especially practical products like making and sewing an outfit from scratch, or knitting what I need, so my style is based more on my personal taste instead of store bought clothes.

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
