Cathrine's Story I switched my major from medical lab science to computer science. So that time frame of me changing my major I told myself I should start teaching myself how to code. At first I was devastated but when I made my first web page I was so happy and decided to better my skills.

🙋‍♀️ Cathrine's Motivation

I love coding because it involves solving problems. I love this saying that people in tech say, we don't code because its hard, we code because its possible. I love the feeling of accomplishment when my code works. Plus the many opportunities I get and skills for my future.

🤹‍♀️ Cathrine's Hobbies

I love DIYing. I enjoy watching art ,I appreciate any form of art. I love talking walks in nature and also watching the sky.

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.
