    I work with a national non-profit dedicated to empowering college women with a passion for tech. As part of a very small team, we develop and manage a fast-growing community of college women in tech from schools all across the U.S., Canada, and beyond, as well as create and nurture partnerships with organizations that care about the issue of diversity in the workplace. In my tenure, we have seen our community grow from just 150 women from 20 schools to over 6,000 from over 400 schools!
