Get inspired
Remember your passions.
Howdy!
My name is Alexa and I studied Computer Science in college! Now a few years later, I manage an awesome team of people at a technology company. I remember how often in my college days I was one of a few women in my coding classes, and often the only woman of color. It sometimes made me feel like I was in the wrong place! I often felt like I had to work even harder than my classmates to prove I should be there. Looking back, I am so happy that I lived through that discomfort because I love my job, I love my life, and I love how fun programming is!
Nothing can stop you.
Hey there!

Passion with a purpose.

I am so excited that you are taking early steps in owning your career; some folks do not start until later on. So congratulations to you on your motivation and willingness to put yourself out there in the STEM field. As a TechDiva you certainly have an advantage in a career where leaders like myself are looking to build our diverse teams and find it hard to locate the female STEM pool; so keep at it.
You can accomplish anything.

I want you to know that you are capable of accomplishing anything that you desire in this world. Do not let the fear of failure, rejection or the unknown keep you from reaching your goals.

Hey There!
I am excited to know that you are ready to step up and lead your generation in a science or technical career. The opportunities have never been better for young people like you to achieve what others only dreamed of only a few generations ago.
Make a difference in the world.
Hey There!
Writing to you today about Engineering and future Engineers. I’d see people not very excited about their field of work, but not with Engineers. I have always marveled at how engineers solve real-world problems. I am hoping to get this multiplier effect, and that’s how you make the world a better place. Hoping that kids will go out and be engineers, doctors, teachers, plumbers and lawyers and have this experience that someone cared about them. And that gives them the same belief system about making a difference in the world.
