Hope's Story My initial interest in coding emerged from my attendance of the 8th Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Scientific Conference from May 4-6, which included "Digital transformation and artificial intelligence in health and education" as one of the subthemes. What particularly peaked my interest was a discussion on The Nobel Peace Prize winner who created an AI tool that could synthesize any protein 3D structure when prompted. Since then, I went down a rabbit-hole reading articles and engaging with content about the digital health space. I came to the realization that the future of healthcare innovation rests heavily on the ability to manipulate, analyze and translate data into actionable insights, an endeavor that is fundamentally driven by coding. The fascination was less about programming as an abstract skill and more about coding as a language of creation and problem-solving.

🙋‍♀️ Hope's Motivation

My motivation for learning to code with SheCodes is anchored in a strong belief that coding is not just a technical skill but a transformative tool for agency and innovation, especially for women in Africa. As a pharmacy graduate passionate about improvement and transformation of the healthcare space, I recognize that coding is the essential language that bridges ideas and solutions in today's digital world. Learning to code with SheCodes is a deliberate step towards closing the gender and opportunity gap in technology across Africa. I am driven by the desire to revolutionize healthcare in Kenya, by ensuring better systems are in place and being part of the team that facilitates sustainable healthcare informatics, digital health research, working software models, among other technological advancements. Engaging with SheCodes is a means to acquire not only technical proficiency but also the confidence and network to drive meaningful change.

🤹‍♀️ Hope's Hobbies

Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy reading and writing funny, witty articles, designing cards and editing videos on Canva and Capcut for social media management and playing games such as monopoly, jenga or scrabble with my friends.
