Omaatla's Story I remember falling in love with Technology as a subject back in high school. Since then I've always tried to educate myself about it as much as I could. Back then, I didn't even know what what coding was. I do remember spending countless hours exploring websites, applications, and games wondering how each of them was created and how they functioned behind the scenes. When I first heard about coding I thought it would be absolutely perfect for me. I know I have a lot of personal qualities that align well with coding skills. For example, I am analytic and very good at problem solving. I enjoy the challenge of breaking down complex problems into smaller and manageable pieces so I can clearly solve them. I am creative and I also love pushing myself to the limit because I believe diamonds manifest only when pressure is applied. I know this journey will not be a walk in the park but I don't expect it to be. I am willing to push myself daily and to keep myself accountable for carrying through with it.

🙋‍♀️ Omaatla's Motivation

Not only does learning coding with SheCodes align with my career aspirations but coming from a small village I would really like to pave the way for the youth here. Not a lot of people are even aware that such careers exist and I know my words will start to have meaning to my family the day I tell them I have received my certificate or the day I start working in this field. Growing up, I've always been fascinated by technology's ability to transform lives and shape the world we live in. However, my lack of knowledge has often felt like a barrier, limiting my ability to fully participate as much as I would have liked. By joining SheCodes, I see an opportunity that can get me closer to my dream of becoming a software developer. My motivation to learn coding goes beyond just career advancement. I am ready to change my life and that of my loved ones while doing something that I love and feel so passionate about.

🤹‍♀️ Omaatla's Hobbies

I enjoy studying the best upcoming games so I can figure out which ones to invest in, my current favorite startup game is Big Time. I read everyday. I like anything from fictional thriller to self improvement books. I watch a lot of Youtube during my free time. Topics that I like watching include financial literacy, quizzes and celebrity interviews.

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
