Other Projects
Code First: Girls
I am proud to run DV London's Code First: Girls programme. Code First: Girls is a non-profit that matches women with no previous coding experience with corporate partners whose staff teach them a 8 week coding course. I absolutely love watching the girls learn and get excited about tech.
Blogging
When I first graduated from General Assembly, many people asked me questions about changing my career. I wrote down those answers in my first post, which lead to more questions and more blogs.
Accessibility
I passionately believe that the internet should be accessible to everyone. I am working hard to learn more about how I can make what I build more accessible and have spoken on the topic recently at conferences.
