Gabrielle's Story My interest in coding seriously began in 2022, when I wanted to develop a ministry-based app that would provide free resources for children to know more about God regardless of their social and economic status. In a free online course I was in called 'Introduction to Technology' at the free faith-based institution I am in, we touched on the different fields one could venture into if they wanted to go into the technology field. I believed that when I learned that my professor, who is also a woman, was into technology, particularly where she did things like coding, project management, and product development, it really sparked something new in me. Prior to this, I was interested in the creation of websites and how to properly develop them, especially since I wanted a website for my ministry at the time. What started as just needing these things based on the vision I had at the time led to an interest in and passion for the technology field.
My motivation for learning to code at SheCodes is their heart for life circumstances like mine; the compassion to create a foundation that not only helps women who are not able to both access and afford to learn the skill of coding in a proper manner, especially in an industry that is dominated by the opposite gender, is something that touched me. It gave me that boost to continue trying, regardless of whether I am in a situation that seems difficult at times. Before hearing about SheCodes, I had many concerns about whether I would be able to access opportunities in the field I wanted, but also if I would be able to access the necessary resources needed for my self-study as well as connect to an institution where I could properly develop my skills in coding in a professional setting to begin with. SheCodes gave me that encouragement and push that my self-studying does not have to be in vain, as well as that there was still hope in finding a professional institution where I could learn online, especially in regards to being a woman from a developing country that is on the spectrum.
Some of my hobbies include self-studying, reading, writing, volunteering in ministry-based settings, content creation, and website design.
