I moved to Berlin from the States for new experiences and friends. I came from a background in social work for non-profit organizations with various missions. An integral skill I found myself teaching at every organization was computer skills. This is key to empowering low income families to meet modern day demands, especially for job searches and retention, which is the foundation of stability for these families. Berlin gave me the opportunity to work in tech, Berlin Geekettes gave me the opportunity to connect with brilliant ladies, and I now leave inspired to tap technology’s enormous potential to help the low-income families I work with.
