Phagan's Story I became interested in coding when I realized how much technology shapes our daily lives. I’ve seen how apps and software can simplify tasks, solve problems, and make a real difference—whether it’s something as simple as scheduling a meeting or tracking important reminders. This sparked my curiosity to understand how these tools are created and to learn how I can build solutions that help others. Coding feels like a way to contribute meaningfully to the world and grow alongside the ever-evolving digital landscape.

🙋‍♀️ Phagan's Motivation

I’m motivated to learn coding with SheCodes because it offers a structured and supportive way to gain essential skills in an industry that’s constantly growing. Coding is a field I’ve wanted to explore because it opens doors to creating impactful solutions, whether big or small. SheCodes feels like the perfect platform for me to start this journey, as it’s designed for women looking to grow and thrive in tech. I’m excited about the opportunity to develop new skills, build a stronger future for myself, and stay relevant in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world.

🤹‍♀️ Phagan's Hobbies

I enjoy walks along the beach and spending time outdoors when I can. Most of my time is taken up by work and commuting, but I also dedicate my weekends to supporting my son’s sports activities, which I love being a part of. Sundays are for church and relaxing at home. I also enjoy exploring new places and experiencing different environments whenever it’s possible, as it’s a great way to recharge and find inspiration.

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.
