Rewriting the Code has been instrumental in empowering me throughout my tech journey by providing access to a supportive community of like-minded women, mentors, and industry professionals. Through RTC, I have been exposed to career-building opportunities like internships, networking events, and skill development workshops.
Women in computing should participate in communities like RTC because they provide critical support systems that are often lacking in traditional educational or workplace settings. Communities like RTC help break down the isolation that many women in tech experience by offering access to a network of peers, mentors, and role models who understand the unique challenges of being a woman in the industry. These communities foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for both professional and personal growth. They also create a safe space for women to explore new technologies, ask questions, and receive feedback in a non-judgmental environment, which is essential for building confidence and resilience.
Success in my career means constantly learning and pushing myself to grow, both technically and as a leader. It involves making a tangible impact through the projects I work on and the teams I contribute to, while also fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. It’s about feeling fulfilled by the work I do, mentoring others along the way, and continuing to expand my skill set while staying true to my values and passions.

Being part of the Rewriting the Code community has been nothing short of transformative in my journey through tech. One of my favorite memories is the picnic we had in Central Park, where we gathered under a light rain, sharing stories and laughter. In that moment, I realized just how strong, inclusive, and safe this community truly is. Despite being in the vastness of New York City, where it's easy to feel like you're navigating everything alone, RTC has always been the place I know I can turn to—a community that has my back. RTC has connected me with so many talented people from all walks of life, opening doors to new experiences and opportunities. The visits to different companies and the conversations with inspiring professionals not only expanded my understanding of the tech world but also made my summer more vibrant and meaningful. RTC transformed my experience in the city, making it feel less daunting and more like a shared adventure.
I believe other women in computing should join communities like RTC because they offer more than just professional growth—they offer a lifeline. In an industry that can often feel isolating, RTC fosters a sense of belonging, reminding us that we are never alone in our journey. It's a place where you can find support, encouragement, and the kind of camaraderie that lifts you up, even on the toughest days.
To me, success isn't just about reaching personal goals. It's about growing in a community that empowers you to be your best self while helping others do the same. It's about building a network of support, knowing that as we rise, we can lift others alongside us. With RTC, I've found that success is not just a destination—it's the journey we share together.

The diverse talent pool of women supporting each other to grow and propel in their respective careers is a beautiful retreat. I am grateful to be a part of such a passionate and compassionate group of individuals sharing their stories while carving their journey. RTC has exposed me to numerous available opportunities and a strong community in which I can reach out for help and share advice. I feel empowered knowing women are cutting it through every area of tech and although there is a lot to conquer the chapter has strongly begun with RTC.
I strongly feel women should participate in communities like RTC to explore, assist, network and feel empowered. RTC provides a sense of belonging as youngsters will always find someone struggling through the same challenges and roadblocks they face in the industry. RTC serves as an open forum to help every individual looking to break into the tech or come back to tech. There is something for everyone.
Success to me is a combination of accomplishing quality in work while fostering an environment for collaboration and growth. Climbing the ladder while lending a helping hand to others on the ladder looking to move up.

I joined RTC last year September after attending GHC 2023, where I saw a large group of women at the conference representing RTC. I immediately wanted to be part of the group since RTC was so supportive to women students and engineers, and was actually taking actions to support us, especially in tough times. After I joined, I explored several channels in the RTC server, and was surprised to find out there are always groups of people sharing the same interests with me no matter what I am looking for to engage in. I also found a group of RTC members to participate in a hackathon together! I see RTC as a big community that I find my comfort in, I’d continue to be a member and would love to contribute when I can give back!

As a first-generation low-income college student, I was not as prepared for college as most students were. Everyone I had met in my first week of college came from a wealthy background and were all majority white. They all seemed prepared for what was to come, while I felt incredibly lost. During my first-year programming class, I recall feeling lost and overwhelmed by the content. It was my first time ever coding and though I attend a historically women’s college, I still often felt that there was a competitive spirit among my classmates that I had assumed would not be as present compared to a co-ed institution. During our first lab, I remember my professor asking why we were interested in taking this class. One of my classmates answered, “my parents told me to. They’re both in computer science, as well as two of my uncles.” Through that class, I realized that many of my peers did not share the same passion for coding as me and were there for other reasons. When joining Rewriting the Code last year, it was refreshing to see how everyone truly does care about computer science. Communities like Rewriting the Code represent an opportunity to be part of a collaborative environment with an endless amount of connections. The advice and Latinas affinity group channels are supportive and helpful, and it’s been motivating for me to see other Latinas making huge leaps forward in their careers. I think women should participate in communities like Rewriting the Code since it’s one of the very few places that one will find where everyone is looking out for each other. Whether it’s bringing up a career-related opportunity, attending the RTC fairs, or making random jokes, everyone can make a contribution and difference in someone’s daily life even as they’re looking through the Slack channels. Overall, Rewriting the Code has been impactful in my tech journey this past year. As someone from an underrepresented background and gender in tech, this community has helped me feel less isolated and overcome imposter syndrome. I also feel more confident about my identities and about acquiring the software engineering roles at nonprofits that would fit my definition of success. As for personal growth, I feel that communities like Rewriting the Code have helped me acquire the success I need.

Being part of Rewriting the Code has honestly been such a game-changer for me as a sophomore in computer science. The community has connected me to so many resources I wouldn't have found on my own—whether it’s advice on internships, coding challenges, or just talking with other women who are navigating the same things I am. Knowing there’s a whole network of fellow students and professionals who’ve been in my shoes makes it feel less intimidating, and I’ve gotten so much support that has helped boost my confidence in this field. I think every woman in computing should join communities like RTC because it’s a space where you’re genuinely understood. Tech can sometimes feel lonely or overwhelming, but having a group of women who are cheering you on and offering guidance makes a world of difference. It’s more than just networking—it’s about building each other up and sharing the tools we need to succeed. For me, success is about growing, learning, and making steady progress. It’s about landing internships, learning new skills, and becoming more confident in my abilities. Success, to me, is also seeing that I’ve helped other women grow alongside me.

Access to a strong NETWORK (NETWORTH??) of women in tech, offering resources and a platform to share experiences. RTC's focus on community and collaboration has been invaluable in empowering me to stay motivated and find support during pivotal moments in my tech career. Four years ago, a friend of mine mentioned RTC to me and I was amazed by the mission and vision of the community. At that time, I was looking for ways to connect with other women in tech, and RTC seemed like the perfect fit. The idea of being part of a bigger network that not only empowers women but also offers opportunities for learning, mentorship, and career growth really resonated with me. I joined shortly after and have been incredibly grateful for the journey in tech since.
To a degree that we seldom realize, we depend upon the participation of others in our lives, and upon our own participation in the lives of others. Our success and effectiveness as persons is based upon this participation, and upon an ability to maintain a controlling competence in communicating with others.” I think this holds very true especially because we rely so much on the active involvement of others and how our own contributions shape relationships and personal success -- thereby allowing us to navigate complex social and professional landscapes, fostering collaboration, mentorship and knowledge sharing. Being part of a community like “Rewriting the Code” ensures that women in computing not only receive the much needed support but also contribute to the success of others this way maintaining both competence and influence, and shaping the broader tech landscape.
Success is about a balance between achieving professional milestones and continuing to evolve as a whole person. To be an ideal intellectual: be genuinely curious about the world and eager to learn as much as I can. Continuously learning and staying curious, contributing meaningful work that aligns with my values. It's in the feeling to know that the work I do plays a direct role in enriching the overall user experience while maintaining a sense of purpose and passion. It’s in the idea of maintaining a healthy work-life balance, making time for self-care, and continually working on self-improvement.

Rewriting the Code has provided me a community network to connect with other women and non-binary folks in tech, as well as resources to career development opportunities. This is a unique, empowering space for support, connection, networking, and career growth for women in tech, especially those who are students and early career. For example, last year I was able to attend a self-care + professional development session, which gave me an initial opportunity to connect with a company recruiter and I ended up interning there this past summer! I also attended the career fair and virtual event for preparing to succeed in a summer internship. Success not only means achieving my career goals and participate in impactful academic/professional projects, but also continuing to learn, grow, connect, seek support and give support while being part of the RTC community. Thank you, RTC!
