Happy Pride Month! At Girls Who Code we want to uplift LGBTQ+ voices and stories this month (and every month tbh!) Thatâs why we want to hold a space to shine a light on marginalized voices in tech. Join us as we team up with Out In Tech for our #PrideInSTEM panelâ¦live on our IG!
Now, letâs meet our panelists:
Markemia Peterson (she/her), is an Enterprise Technical Specialist Consultant at Microsoft. This Tallahassee, Florida native holds a marketing degree from the University of Florida. With nearly 5 years in pre-sales technology, she specializes in strategic planning and demonstrating business value through product presentations. Her guiding philosophy? âReach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud.â
Veronica Sirotic (she/they) is a Career Services Lead at Break Through Tech AI, a national organization that creates pathways into AI careers for women and non-binary students from diverse backgrounds. She manages the career services and mentorship program for 450+ undergraduates across the country. Prior to their role at BTT, they worked as a Career Advisor and Engagement Manager at the CUNY Tech Prep Program supported by the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline. Outside of work, she is training for the marathon and loves watching trash reality television.
