I taught myself how to code in high school but ended up studying accounting in college. After graduation, I turned down a job offer from a top accounting firm to pursue my passion for technology. I co-founded New York On Tech (NYOT), a non-profit that works with amazing high school students and provides them with the development, mentoring, network, and access they need to be successful in degrees and careers in tech.
The organization recruits talented high school students from low-opportunity communities and places them in a year-long immersion program where they learn how to code, grow as leaders, and are paired with mentors in the tech industry.

A career in computing is rewarding and creative. Diversity is needed in innovation because Latina girls will help provide a different and unique perspective.
