Trascendiendo Obstáculos: La Historia Inspiradora de una Tecnóloga
Que una mujer estudie una carrera STEM en un municipio y que sea de origen indígena es una locura. Son varios los retos que sobrepasé, desde ser una de las pocas mujeres en la carrera, hasta escuchar comentarios como: “¿Saben cuánto tiempo va aguantar?”, “Esta carrera no es para mujeres”, “Las mujeres no saben programar”, entre otros.

My Experience as a Mentee at WWCode London
Some of the aspects happened just as planned, while others took unexpected turns! As life happens, there were some weeks that I needed more attention to a topic that was not clicking right away, so we needed to slow down and repeat some exercises or concepts to fix that in my mind.

And other times… well, life happens… There were sessions where I only needed some time to decompress. Sessions transformed into moments of introspection and motivation.
Looking at my progress, I can say I’m really proud of us!
