In her own words:

“S.O.D.E. is a brand that literally stands for 4 chemicals that activate our happiness (Serotonin, Oxytocin, Dopamine, Endorphins).

Karina won the Apple WWDC Scholarship – for the third year in a row! ✨

In her own words:

“I’m a 21 years old Brazilian Computer Engineering student, passionate about code and design! Apple every year launches a worldwide competition for students so they can attend WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) in California. This year my app was about Nancy Grace Roman, the first woman to hold an executive position at Nasa and responsible for launching Hubble into space! I wanted to develop a project that would inspire girls to pursue STEM, and also inspire them to participate in this type of competitions! It’s my third year winning this scholarship, and I’d love to see more girls there! <3 The conference will be in the first week of June! It’s so close and I’m so excited!”

Congratulations, Karina!! You are such a badass for participating and winning and I love your choice of project! Super well done, girl ❤️

In her own words:

“I just announced my webinar that will teach how to get internships at tech companies: how to do the reach outs, how to craft your resume, how to prepare for interviews, and how to get offers! I’ve been working on it for over a month and am super excited to finally launch it! It will happen on June 21st live but everyone can also get a recording of it if they can’t attend the live.”

This is so exciting, Luba, congratulations!! I know that this will be incredibly valuable for anyone who might be looking for an internship in the future – make sure you enrol in this awesome webinar




How I became a Software Engineer in Silicon Valley⁣ ⁣ I was a Chemical Engineering major, however, I was able to successfully learn programming and make a transition into tech. ⁣ ⁣ I spent about 6 months learning to code on my own with a goal of getting an internship as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. I worked hard, spent days and sometimes nights at the library, but it all paid off 😌⁣ ⁣ 7 months after started, I landed an internship at Yelp on their Android team. ⁣ ⁣ Fast forward to another semester, I got 6 different offers: LinkedIn, Airbnb, and Microsoft being some of them. I decided to join Airbnb for my internship which then I joined full time as a backend engineer after graduating.⁣ ——⁣ ⚠️I am launching a webinar on How To Get Internships At Top Tech Companies full of personal examples and experiences, and a Q&A section at the end. I will be sharing how to reach out to companies, craft your resume, write cold emails, prepare for different types of interviews, and much more! ⁣ ➡️Details and registration are at www.lifeofluba.com/internship Reserve your spot soon as the capacity will be limited!
