I come from an all-female education, so I went to school with only female classmates. Throughout my education I was given so much encouragement to get involved with STEM subjects. I started with a small html course that I learnt as a hobby after school so I could perfect my Tumblr blog, and it went from there. I applied to do computer science at A-level, but I was the only student who applied, so they didn't run the course. I had to take matters into my own hands and continued my interest in the subject throughout sixth-form. I applied to do computer science at uni, regardless of how nervous I was that I would be one of the only girls in the room. From the start, I always knew I wanted to go into STEM, and I wasn't going to let anything hold me back.
