Join us for an empowering session with Daisy Mayorga-Fuentes, a trailblazing Latina in the tech industry, as she shares her remarkable journey titled "Empowerment and Resilience: A Latina's Curious Path in Tech." Starting from her first programming class, where she stood out as the only Latina, to facing discouragement and overcoming barriers, Daisy's story is a testament to resilience and determination. Her return to education and subsequent rise as a leader, including her roles as a founder, project manager, and Women Techmakers Ambassador, illustrates the power of persistence and passion in the face of challenges.

In this session, Daisy will delve into her experiences of feeling isolated and underrepresented in tech, and how these challenges fueled her mission to lift others. She'll discuss her involvement in community initiatives, tech meetups, and her pivotal role as a Google Developer Group organizer.
