About Haley
I’m a 22-year-old California girl who has a (barely healthy) obsession with data. When I’m not crunching numbers and drawing pretty pictures to tell stories about them, I love to go hiking, practice yoga, play board games, kick the soccer ball around, thrift shop, or try new restaurants. I’ve always considered myself a quiet introvert who works in the shadows – but this past year, I’ve tried to push myself out of my comfort zone and use my voice to empower others around me.
How did you get into tech?
When I got to college, I was introduced to the field of Computer Science and discovered how powerful computer science was and how the field held so much opportunity. When I was first introduced to the concept of data, I was so intrigued by how it was stored and where it was stored. I worked as a software developer for over a year before having an “aha!” moment once again – I could bring back that love for numbers and combine it with my programming skills to work in the fascinating world of DATA! Now, I work as a data analyst with a focus on consumer finance, and although I use much of what I learned as a developer, I am constantly self-studying to sharpen my skills and make myself a better analyst.

What inspired you to start sharing your experiences on social media?
Every class I took in college was predominantly with men. Every meeting I sat through at work was with men. Every course I take online is taught by men. I had no one to relate to in this field who looks like me or understands how hard it is to have your voice heard. So I hit the internet to try to find more women like me!
