This week on See It To Be It, we talk to Founder and CEO of CodeOp.tech Katrina Walker. Growing up in Silicon Valley, Katrina knew from a young age she was interested in a career in the sciences. After going through different careers paths in Psychology to Cultural Anthropology, she sought after a greater challenge for herself through Data Science. Afterwards, she went on to found CodeOp, Barcelona’s first coding school specifically for women and non-binary people. CodeOp’s mission is to provide resources and support for women wanting to educate themselves remotely on coding. Katrina hopes for CodeOp to become the first international coding school for womxn. Katrina’s personal path was nonlinear, but throughout the journey she collected different skills along the way. This episode, she talks to us about the power of remote learning, the constant search for knowledge and listening to your passions when they are calling out to you. To learn more about Katrina, check her out on LinkedIn and visit coreop.tech for more on her company. Katrina on the gap in data education specifically serving women: _6:41 “..Coding schools are worldwide, but according schools that specifically serve women are less than 1%.” Katrina on the difference between her company and ones she has worked for: _10:42 “100%. It's powerful. You know, I'm part of other business groups that are better coed. It's a completely, totally different experience. No lot more arrogance and, um, let you know less humility. And when we want to learn from one another, it's fantastic. I could just hear someone say how much they've struggled while trying to raise around. That's where the valuable information is.” — On The Dot Woman Content Corner Looking for more tips, motivation and direction?
