Carol's Story My interest in coding grew as I saw technology playing a bigger role in our daily lives. I've always found it fascinating how software and apps can tackle problems, make tasks smoother, and even bring new ideas to life. As I noticed technology's expanding influence across different industries, I began to view coding as a potent tool for making positive impacts. In 2015, I recall aspiring to become a blogger. I decided to utilize platforms like Wix for my website pages, and I found myself intrigued by the creators of the numerous templates available. Although customizing them to my preferences was a bit of a challenge, my persistent thought was a desire to acquire the skill of manipulating those templates. It was like a child dismantling a favorite toy, eager to understand all its gears and mechanisms, questioning how each part contributed to the overall magic.

🙋‍♀️ Carol's Motivation

My motivation for coding came a while back, when I worked as a financial advisor, I was constantly intrigued by the computer programs we used. These magical bits of software made problem-solving so easy. I couldn't help but wonder about the magic that happened behind the scenes. It was fascinating how you could essentially give commands to a computer, and it would take care of everything. Over time, I found out about coding, and that's what initiated a keen interest in wanting to be a part of this wonderful world of technology.

🤹‍♀️ Carol's Hobbies

During my downtime, I love getting lost in online articles. 📚 Exploring topics like design, travel, and foreign cultures brings me so much joy. It's like a little adventure without leaving my comfy space. I'm especially into staying up-to-date with the latest trends in innovation, and AI apps have a special place in my reading list. It's fascinating to see how they evolve and improve over time. When I need to unwind, puzzle games are my go-to. 🧩 There's this satisfying feeling when you crack a challenging puzzle—it's like a mental escape that's oddly refreshing. And then there's music, my ultimate downtime companion. Whether it's the soothing melodies of classical tunes or the rhythmic beats of contemporary tracks, Pop and Rnb music just adds that perfect vibe to my leisure moments. 🎵 Oh, and Sundays are our special days! I take some free time to go out with my daughter for ice cream. 🍦 It's our little tradition to explore new spots and try different flavors. It's not just about the ice cream; it's our way of bonding and creating sweet memories together. 👩‍👧💕

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.
