Our herstory
“I have always been creative and inquisitive, and I love understanding how things work.
In my last year of college, I took a computer science class and fell in love, but quickly realized that there was a wide gender gap in the technology industry— which was something that I felt should be changed. So, I started my own computer science club using the Girls Who Code nonprofit curriculum. I taught elementary through high school girls basic computer science skills.
This period of my life made me realize how much I thrived from the power of social impact and that designing solutions could solve real-world problems and change people’s lives.
I started htmelle with the vision is to ensure more young women choose and graduate from college with degrees in computer science and STEAM-related fields.
I also hope that through htmelle, we inspire more girls like myself to chart their own path, have the confidence to pursue their unique interests and be entrepreneurial, and start ventures as next-generation leaders.”
