I couldn't imagine myself being any other kind of professional, and I'm loud about coding because I feel that it is so important for women in any male-dominated field to speak out about it and make our presence known. </p> <h2> I deserve credit for... </h2> <p>Launching a massive, multi-million dollar website redesign.
