Community

One of the best parts about being in the technology industry is participating in many communities that aim to make a career in technology accessible for all. I've had the great privilege of being involved with PyLadies London (2014-2017) as an organiser and a speaker.

Another initiative which I support is DjangoGirls London - a two day workshop started by software engineers Ola Sendecka and Ola Sitarska. The workshop introduces women who have never programmed before to the Python programming language and the Django framework. I've been both a mentor and an organizer and would definitely encourage everyone to get involved. I am hoping to organise a few workshops in 2018 - if you are based in London and would like to get involved, please send me an email.
