Kim's Story As a teacher, I get to experience many amazing programs, and one moment that truly stood out was watching a middle school student code a robot during a robotics activity. I was amazed at how confidently they navigated the process and how something so complex could be broken down into steps they understood and controlled. That moment sparked something in me. Since then, I’ve been both curious and inspired by the world of coding and what it entails. The creativity, logic, and endless possibilities it offers have continued to fascinate me. Even though I haven’t coded myself yet, that experience opened my eyes to how powerful and accessible coding can be and it’s made me eager to learn and explore it for myself.

🙋‍♀️ Kim's Motivation

a teacher, I’ve seen first-hand how technology is transforming the education sector and the world around us. This has sparked a strong desire in me to not only keep up with these changes, but to be a part of the innovation driving them. I want to challenge myself and explore the tech world more intentionally and doing so with She Codes would be an incredible privilege. I have always had a love for technology, even taking it as a subject in high school. Now, seeing how fast-paced and dynamic the tech industry has become, I’m ready to take the leap. I want to be part of the growing community of young women in tech, especially those breaking barriers and making meaningful contributions. She Codes offers a space where I believe I can thrive, grow, and gain the skills to shift my career into the world of technology.

🤹‍♀️ Kim's Hobbies

I love being outdoors, exploring my beautiful country or simply taking a relaxing walk to unwind from a busy life. I also cherish spending time with family and friends. As South Africans, nothing beats gathering around a fire for a braai (our version of a BBQ), sharing laughs, good music, and creating special memories together.

The Delac Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The Delac Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
