about
hi! i’m a passionate, gratuated artist & designer who has found her love for problem-solving programming at codam. i’m currently studying part-time at codam in the algorithms and artificial intelligence branch and work as a pedago & tech assistant for another school of the 42 network in wolfsburg. in my free time i’m a full time geek writing stories, drawing and playing video games as well as dungeons & dragons.
why is international women’s day important for you?
international women’s day holds special significance for me. during my previous studies in game art, the game development class was exclusively male. experiencing this lack of diversity made me appreciate the importance of change. codam’s commitment to achieving an equal representation of women in tech education aligns with my personal mission for inclusivity. having been able to witness this progress firsthand and knowing at codam we now have a diverse student body with 30% female and 2% non-binary students among our 450 students makes me very proud.
codam
at codam, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion to drive creativity and innovation. our education is open to everyone, no matter how much programming experience you had before or what kind of school diploma you got. we give anyone a chance to get into tech regardless of background or financial resources available.
with 30% female and 2% non-binary students within our pool of 450 students, we understand the importance of showcasing diverse success stories to inspire even more youth to learn software engineering. our commitment to diversity isn’t just symbolic;it’s integral to shaping a more inclusive and equitable tech industry.
together, let’s inspire more diverse youth to get in tech and empower them to build the future they want to live in!
