Pia's Story I am a huge formula 1 fan and I was first introduced to coding through learning about one of my favourite engineers, Hannah Schmitz. I have looked up to her since highschool and eventually decided to study computer science. Although coding can be quite challenging at times I like the fact that I am able to learn from my mistakes and eventually try to find solutions to problems. I am also interested in coding because I want to be able to make an impact in the world of tech and influence other girls to pursue a career in tech as well.

🙋‍♀️ Pia's Motivation

My main motivation is to be able to one day call myself a qualified software or cloud engineer. Although I am still at the beginning of my journey I remain dedicated through the support from my mum and friends.

🤹‍♀️ Pia's Hobbies

I love reading, cooking and baking, playing with my cats, trying different art projects with my best friend and watching formula 1!

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.
