Community Highlights

Every month, we spotlight the contributions WTM Ambassadors are making to their community. Get inspired by their stories and successes.

Meet WTM Ambassador Victoria ✨

Victoria, a Peruvian woman standing in front of a white background. She's wearing a pink blouse and has her long light-brown hair lose while smiling at the camera.

Victoria is a System Engineer and Data Analyst at Interbank in Lima, Peru. She enjoys design, coding, and making a positive impact in the world through technology.

She got her start in tech by playing video games as a child and discovering her passion for HTML and CSS in school.

Like many women in tech, she battled self-doubt in the face of a fiercely competitive industry and limited female role models. But she honed her confidence, focusing on her goals and values, and she encourages other women to do the same. "Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you are the only woman in a team. You are part of a bigger community, you are not alone!"

Now, as a Women Techmakers Ambassador she has a role as an advocate and speaker, building bridges (and friendships!) across cultures, and paving the way for a future brimming with women in tech.

On December 6, 2023 we held our very first Networking event. The event featured a panel discussion with Madonna, Natalie, and Ezinne, our fierce WTM Ambassadors who shared about their tech career paths, knowledge-building strategies, and more. Ambassadors then led exciting conversations in networking tables fostering discussions about their area of expertise with our vibrant community of members.

Thank you for making our first a success! Stay tuned for more to come in 2024
