Eleni's Story When I was in high school I had some basic coding courses and I was really good at them and I loved it. I always saw how my peers from STEM careers both at University and work did amazing things with coding and have been fascinated with it.
I've always had a passion for technology and coding, however was discouraged to pursue a career in this field because it was a "men" only profession. I ended up working in technology but in customer facing roles, and even tough I have done well, I haven't really thrived on my career and that is because I have ADHD and I struggle with social interactions. Even tough I am the best at knowing the product and understanding the strategy, that is something that always weighs heavy, even tough I try every day to improve and be better. With coding, however, I think my ADHD would be a strength instead of a weakness for my career.
Lately my biggest hobby is learning about ADHD, mental health and how to have a good quality of life with it, which also involves a lot of therapy and work. But besides that I love swimming, cooking, writing confessional poetry and letters, painting and social community service.
