I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend Harvard WECode: Women Engineers Code Conference ????—the largest student-run conference for women in tech in the United States! Connecting with and learning from inspiring female leaders was truly unforgettable. WECode Highlights ?? ???? Dr. Lauren G. - Co-Founder of Mission Ops & Former CIO of NASA’s Johnson Space Center Dr. Godwin emphasized data’s critical role in NASA’s missions ???, financial markets ????, and beyond. ?? “What will people remember you for?” This question reminded me that success isn’t short or straightforward—challenges create opportunities to make an impact and build a name for yourself. ?? Jen Felch - Former CIO & CTO of Dell Technologies | ?? Beth Beninato - Director of Hardware System Engineering at Closer These remarkable women proved that hard work and perseverance make any goal achievable. Beninato’s return to tech after 18 years was especially moving. Her story showed that passion endures, and with determination and discipline, success is always possible ?? ??? Claire Williams OBE - Former Deputy Team Principal of Williams Formula One As one of the few women on a Formula 1 executive board, Williams thrived in a male-dominated industry. She championed data-driven decision-making ?? and stressed that success is defined by performance, not gender barriers. Her grit and resilience challenged the status quo, inspiring women in tech ?? facing similar disparities. Special Thanks ?? Huge thanks to Kristin Austin, Ed.D., at Rewriting the Code ??—your kindness and guidance encouraged me to apply and join RTC! ?? Meeting incredible young individuals with unique aspirations ?? was a highlight! Connecting with Brenda Leyva, Kimone Walker, Evendrissa Louis-Jeune, Sabine Kabuika, Gerardo Vega, Chelsea Prudencio, Gargi Pathak, Lola Sapaeva, Anisha Katiyar and Rishika Thakre was truly inspiring. It was also amazing to engage with ColorStack members across the country ???? and a special shoutout to Hilary Rojas Rosales for introducing me to this event & Janelle Mosquera for generously providing transportation from NYC to Boston ??!! Attending WECode was a transformative experience, deepening my passion for tech, especially data analytics ??. I am grateful for everyone I met.
