Polina's Story I guess I just became extremely popular at some point when I was still in high school. At that time coding and programmers seemed like true geniuses, who are far way ahead of regular people, including me. A friend of mine chose coding for fun and then turned it to a job, at first to me all the things he was doing seemed like random numbers and symbols on black screen. But time passed a bit I could really see how interested he is, how wild it is when symbols transform to a functioning website or an app. Coding still looks like sort of magic, but now it is smth where I can put my hand on.

🙋‍♀️ Polina's Motivation

I want to give myself a fresh career start, cause finding yourself and your genuine mission in life is hard. Due to the war invasion that started in my country I understood clearly how fragile life is and there is no time to hesitate or choose safe trivial pathways. I looked to coding several times but smth always stopped me, or not much time available or not enough opportunity. But I know I can make it, I am ready for this change, I want to better my and my loved ones life and see what apexes I am capable of reaching.

🤹‍♀️ Polina's Hobbies

I am a cat mom, that what comes to mind first, so all kitty-cat activities are always in my life. I also like thrifting and upcycling clothes to make them unique and sustainable at the same time. I enjoy traveling a lot, especially on a budget, finding interesting places, film little memory videos and discover how people are living worldwide. At some point in life I was a gamer, but nowadays I seldomly play.

The SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The SheCodes Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
