​On a normal day I will arrive at the office between 9-10am. I will work independently and collaborate with my coworkers when needed, take a lunch break at home with my puppy, and back to the office for the afternoon. Our office also allows us to work remotely whenever we need some solitary time, so I will often stay and work from my home office. We also have a very social working environment so my day is filled up with lots of chats, jokes, tea and snacks.

​I love being creative! Every day I get to be artistic and get to sharpen my problem solving skills. I chose this career because it gives me the perfect balance of both of these things, while also maintaining a great work-life balance.

It was always what I wanted to do, even as a little girl. My older siblings were getting their science degrees and I wanted to be like them some day. It wasn't until I was out of high school that I realized I wanted to take my hobby of web design to the next level and learn programming. After the first course I was hooked and declared my major.

In high school my favorite subject was english. It was the only subject where I was able to be creative with my projects, and I actually designed many websites as assignments. I also really enjoyed geography and learning about different landscapes and cultures, which was a huge reason I majored in Geography as well.

Give it a chance, even if it seems difficult at first. No one is a "natural" programmer, the key is practice. A little bit of stubbornness will go a long way in this career.

Our perspectives are valid and important. Women are being left behind in the technology sector, and with that technology isn't being developed with women in mind. We deserve an equal voice in the future of this important industry, and through technology we can facilitate amazing social change.

My older sister. Her dream since kindergarten was to become a doctor, and she never gave up. Nothing was handed to her and she often had to work twice as hard as her peers to achieve her goals. Now she is a highly specialized doctor, saving lives and living her dream.

When you work on a computer all day, it's great to be active in your free time to keep your body and mind healthy. I love to run and do yoga to stay healthy. I also try to create art whenever I can, and simply relax and enjoy life with friends and family.

The Hulk has always resonated with me. He is constantly trying to have more control over his emotions and channel his temper into doing good instead of harm. I think this skill set is really important even for us normal folk!

Get out there and try new things! Make a website. Try photo editing. Try graphic design. Write a python script. Build a robot. You never know what you're going to fall in love with. These skills will help you in any career - and they can be super enjoyable and rewarding!
