Maria Paula's Story I had to take some classes that involved coding with R, and I struggled with it, often relying on peers to complete my assignments. However, I realized much of the fieldwork I was doing could be represented by these models, and I wanted to learn how to code but didn't know where to start. As a researcher, I did my homework. I discovered from my friend Eleni Hernandez, who already is your student, that SheCodes is one of the best programs for learning how to code from scratch, especially as a woman.
When I first started my education, I used to hate coding because I couldn't understand it, and I would feel noncompetent because I just couldn't make sense of it. As I progressed in my journey in science, I realized coding was a fundamental part of it, realizing what happens in the biological world can only be fully explained with coding tools. I became fascinated by it; it was like discovering another world, and I decided once and for all I wanted to be really proficient in it.
I love cinema; I'm really passionate about it, from analyzing the dialogues to geeking over the soundbands and reading about the photography. Also, snorkeling and diving, art, social work and learning anything science-related.
