Why I am pursuing this project (My why)

I am a ‘Reflective Thinker’ personality type person with strong ‘advocate’ business potential.
I’m super passionate about coding, especially when it’s for social justice causes. I’m also really good at analyzing data on everything from pop culture to fast food. I’m taking these skills and using them to work on a project as a Tech Consultant, aiming to solve global problems. My ultimate goal? To use tech to help get more girls into STEM..
