Women in Tech Weekly Issue Number 4
Today’s issue is full of goodness! I was editing this on a plane (and on the floor of an airport – check my stories to see that haha!), and all of the amazing women here made me so inspired that I forgot where I was!
Seriously, thank you so much to everyone supporting this project by submitting your news and resources – and by reading these issues! Please let me know if you have any ideas/feedback/comments 🙂
Alright, let’s get to the:
Celebrations ??
Jenny was asked and gladly accepted to mentor our new intern!
In her own words:
“I’m excited and honored to officially be a mentor! I’ve learned a lot from my mentors throughout the years, and I can’t wait to share everything I know with my fellow woman in tech. First thing I plan to do is get to know her, and find out what she wants out this internship. Then, set achievable goals, and come up with a strategic execution plan. We have just a little over five months together, I hope to help her feel as ready as possible to enter this male-dominated industry. ”
This is awesome, congratulations, Jenny! I hope it’s unbelievably rewarding ??
Mondays are usually the toughest 😩😖 day of the week for a lot of people especially me. Today, I’m trying to break out of my old habit of waking up late and rushing to work. I woke up at 7am, solved 1 algorithm problem 💻 , wrote 📝 this post and set my goals for today. The rest of my goals today are: 1. Work 🤓 2. Study during lunch 🥗 💻 3. Hit the gym 💪 🏃♀️ 4. Record my weekly algorithm walkthrough video 5. Continue working on my Node API project Today’s #bytesized #tips are: 1. Identify a habit that you want to change, then form a new one ✅ 2. Your habits/rituals make you who you are, so make sure they align with who you want to be ✅ 3. Replacing your old habits will take time and consistency, be patient ✅ . . #womenempowerment #womenwhocode #girlswhocode #dev #coding #codingbootcamp #nerdygirl #dreamchaser #programming #programmer #coder #foodie #mac #ilooklikeanengineer #engineeringlife #geek #womensupportwomen #stemgirls #techie #codingislife #techgirl #codelife #learntocode #goals #habits #change#change
