Yuliia's Story I have quite a few friends that are working in this field. I have been curious about it too, but due to the popular stereotypes of "girls can't code" or "you need to be really good at math" I didn't dare to try. February 24, 2022, is a date that made me reevaluate my whole life. I don't want to postpone things anymore and I am done with doubting myself. I am eager to learn and I'm proud of myself for trying and coming out of my comfort zone.

🙋‍♀️ Yuliia's Motivation

Due to the recent events, I have realized that the modern world demands proactivity and flexibility. For the longest time, I felt extremely anxious and worried about my future and what career path I should take. I had to pick wisely because the only way I can achieve a comfortable and financially stable life is through hard work and education. Therefore, I consider finding SheCodes a sign from the universe to take risks and try something new. It is important for me to prove myself wrong and show that despite the odds and stereotypes I can do anything I put my mind to. This field is mostly a male-dominated one and it makes me so happy to see that your foundation cares so much about women getting access to education and high-paying careers. I strive to become a skilled specialist that will be able to begin a new and exciting career. In addition, I like the fact that I will be able to work from anywhere remotely, so no matter what is happening in the world (like the war in Ukraine) I will be able to provide for my loved ones and myself. I want to challenge myself and improve in all ways possible. New knowledge and experience can never hurt, right? The world is changing and moving at a quick pace, and I want to be able to catch up and move accordingly.

🤹‍♀️ Yuliia's Hobbies

I enjoy reading, I am currently (and forever) obsessed with Harry Potter. I love to journal, it helps me to get out of my head and look and my thoughts and feelings from a different perspective. Even though I'm not a chef, I like to cook mainly because I get to eat the end result, and it is satisfying to see the final product of my creation. I like to paint, do my makeup and my nails. Swimming, riding a bike, and working out are the things that I enjoy as well. Also, I absolutely love photoshoots and when someone takes pictures of me.

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.
