Geraldine Gerald

Geraldine's Story Growing up I was exposed to technology through my primary and secondary school. That was when I had realized that I have a passion for creating, maintaining and deploying software. Unfortunately, I was told that the IT industry is male dominated and is strictly for highly intelligent males. That really discouraged me and I looked at other courses to enroll for university. One day, on social media I saw a post by a lady who was celebrating her new job as a software engineer at Netflix. Her story has moved and changed my life forever because I realized that my future is in my hands and I should go where my heart leads me. Therefore, I enrolled to study Bsc Computer Engineering which I became the top achiever of my faculty. I also became the face of my campus scholarship program where I tell students my story and inspire them to get similar results. Coding has truly changed my life and currently I am studying my last year and require skills which can help me land a job next year.
