Lisa Justice

Lisa's Story My interest in coding has been influenced by two significant factors in my life: my education and my career path. Initially, I was introduced to coding through my academic studies, where I focused extensively on gender disparities in labor and economic development. As the workplace increasingly shifts towards digitalisation and new opportunities emerge, my curiosity about the tech industry and its potential to address these gaps, particularly for women, has grown. Coding, in particular, has captured my attention as a skill that could help bridge these divides. Regarding my career, I've recognised that my past choices have been more shaped by circumstances rather than by exploring various possibilities. As I transition into the workforce, I've become acutely aware of how these choices have limited my potential for building a secure future for myself and those around me. I see coding as pivotal in shaping a more promising future. I believe that acquiring coding skills will provide me with access to better opportunities. My ultimate career aspiration is to become an AI or Machine Learning Engineer. I am driven by the desire to not only address gender representation in data but also to contribute to the development of ethically sound AI systems. I am committed to making a positive impact in shaping a more inclusive and equitable future through my work in the field of AI and machine learning.
