Share your experience. Shape the next generation of women in tech.

Volunteering with Rewriting the Code was an easy decision for me. As a former member, I know firsthand the incredible professional support RTC provides. It’s an organization that helped me so much, and I was excited to find a way to give back. Being a Verizon Citizen means finding opportunities to volunteer and give back, and our partnership with RTC has been a perfect fit. My favorite experience so far was a resume review session where I got to help students polish their resumes and share some of my own insights. I also hosted a table at a mentorship circle, which was a wonderful chance to meet and mentor so many bright students.

I was invited to participate as a mentor with Rewriting the Code, and it has been a truly rewarding experience. I chose to get involved because I strongly believe in the importance of mentorship, especially for early-career women navigating the tech industry. Sharing lessons from my own journey and hearing the ambitions and challenges of these bright, driven individuals was both inspiring and humbling. RTC creates a thoughtful and inclusive space where meaningful conversations happen. The structure of the Mentor Circles encouraged honest, focused dialogue, and I left the session feeling energized by the next generation of tech leaders. One of the most memorable aspects was the openness and curiosity of the participants. Their questions showed a genuine desire not just to grow professionally, but to define success on their own terms. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute and would gladly support RTC’s mission again in the future.
