Have you ever been curious about coding, or maybe the word overwhelmed seems to fit better in there? Today we are chatting with Julia Taylor, CEO of GeekPack, about the power and empowerment she found through teaching herself how to code, and why she chose to help over 2500+ women do the same. Episode 115 of the Moments with an MEO podcast is all about empowering yourself through a geek skill and feeling empowered to do whatever your heart calls for you.
In this episode, Julia and I discuss:
- The power of code and other tech skills in the workforce as a military spouse, including how best a military spouse could utilize the power of a tech skill to make a long-standing career for herself.
- The relationship between foreign relationships and code; Julia walks me through making code sound less scary, and more of an option for anyone, even if you're not good at math.
- The common misconceptions around STEM fields that women have, and the stereotypes or stigmas around STEM fields that are actually true, making it harder for women to join this growing field.
- Her story as an American veteran turned UK military spouse!
