Mabel's Story I became interested in coding while I worked as an online English teacher. Having to use technology and being tech-savvy in case of technical issues, sparked an interest and a curiosity in me. I wanted to know how the platforms I was teaching on were programmed and developed. I realized that I was very detail-oriented and quite a fast learner when it came to technology and creating something using technology. A few months ago, I also saw a Tiktok video of someone who learning coding on SheCodes, she narrated her experience. And I thought to myself, I have to apply and improve my life.

🙋‍♀️ Mabel's Motivation

Coding is something I have always been curious about but it is the type of career that my family did not see fit for a young lady like myself. I was often pushed towards teaching and nursing. As a result, I studied a BA in English and Psychology and a Postgraduate certificate in Education to become a qualified teacher. Between that I worked as an online English teacher. After fulfilling my parents' dream of being a teacher, I was finally granted permission to pursue the career choice of my dreams. I want to learn how to code with SheCodes because I want to study with other women, I want to inspire young women who have the same experience, I want to grow in this male dominated industry. Finally, I want women to know that they can do so much more in their lives.

🤹‍♀️ Mabel's Hobbies

I enjoy playing video games because they're exciting and thrilling. I also enjoy reading novels and taking long walks to relax

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.
