Erjona’s first paper was accepted by womENcourage event of ACM!
In her own words:
“Well, 2 years ago I was a Sophomore having doubts about my studies in Computer Science. I went to this womENcourage event in Barcelona and met wonderful women with great careers in tech and that was so inspiring. Not only I didn’t quit, but I tried even harder and now I’m at Senior year with my first paper being accepted at the same conference that motivated me 2 years ago! So maybe I will have the chance to encourage other girls that have doubts about a career in tech this year in Rome. I’m so excited and determined to thrive, more than ever!”

Skimm’d from The Couch Podcast – shared by me!
One of my favourite podcasts out there – created by the founders of theSkimm (which I read daily!). New episodes come out once a week and each one is an interview with a highly inspirational woman about their career, business, mistakes, etc. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it!
