I love technology and teaching kids about the amazing ways it can be used to create and share their ideas, voices and passions with the world. Even though I have been a woman in computer science for 25 years, I only recently became aware of the crisis in computer science (CS) education. The result of this crisis is that women and minorities are startlingly underrepresented in the field of CS. As I complete a Masters of Education from Mary Baldwin College, I am also working to create a non-profit with a mission to empower girls to imagine new futures for themselves in the field of CS.
