I was part of the Girls Who Code summer immersion program in 2015. The program involves hands-on experience in computing concepts, programming fundamentals, mobile phone development, robotics, and web development and design. I developed a mobile safety App, SafeMe, at the end of the program. This year I am a Teaching Assistant at Girls Who Code, where I get to empower young women in computer science and help to create a better, more inclusive industry.
Along with that, during the school year I work at Power Up Tech Academy, where I get to teach elementary school kids how to code using Scratch. As my high school career comes to an end, I will continue to teach and inspire the next generation of leaders to confidently code and be part of the technology industry. In college I will study Computer Science and have a greater impact on the world as a Hispanic female in the industry.
