Rachel's Story I became interested in coding through the sheer power of problem-solving and creativity that it offers. Coding allows people to build and create almost anything from scratch—whether it’s automating tasks, developing websites, or building apps. It’s a tool that gives you the ability to bring ideas to life. The logical thinking, the constant learning, and the satisfaction of finding solutions to complex problems are what really drew me in. Plus, seeing how coding can shape the future of technology made me curious to dive deeper into the field.

🙋‍♀️ Rachel's Motivation

I’ve always been intrigued by technology and problem-solving. Learning to code feels like a powerful way to channel that curiosity and creativity. SheCodes stands out because it offers a supportive and accessible way to get into coding, especially for women. I’m excited to develop skills that will allow me to create digital solutions and enhance my understanding of tech. Whether it’s for personal projects, career growth, or simply to broaden my horizons, learning to code is an exciting opportunity to push my limits and enter a dynamic, fast-evolving field.

🤹‍♀️ Rachel's Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy a mix of creative and relaxing activities. I love spending time coding and experimenting with new programming languages or frameworks, as it’s both challenging and rewarding to see projects come to life. When I’m not coding, I enjoy reading books on various topics, whether it’s technology, science fiction, or self-development. I also like staying active, whether it’s through hiking, running, or practicing yoga. Exploring new places, trying out different cuisines, and spending quality time with friends and family are things that bring me joy as well.

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.
