Darya's Story Since my teenage years, I have held a deep interest in IT. While my primary education lies in music, I delved into using my laptop for composing, recording, and editing music in my early 20s. My involvement in the film industry also led me to explore video editing programs, including recent ventures into AI. In the summer of 2023, after numerous attempts to secure a job, I enthusiastically participated in several coding marathons, discovering a newfound passion for coding and hoping to unlock new opportunities in my life, potentially leading to a new job.

🙋‍♀️ Darya's Motivation

Following my decision to transition to a new career, I enrolled in several online courses covering QA and HTML/CSS. Recognizing the importance of acquiring in-depth knowledge and enhancing my job prospects, I am eager to pursue more comprehensive education, particularly through programs like SheCodes. Additionally, I am excited about the prospect of joining a community of like-minded women and connecting with individuals who share similar interests.

🤹‍♀️ Darya's Hobbies

By my previous education I am musicin and filmmaker. So, I really like good music, good films, good chat with educated people and creativity in all aspects. Including coding that I found very creative and very similar to art.

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.
