4- First-Generation WOC Trying to Break into Tech

Michelle is a first-generation Asian American who grew up in an
under-resourced neighbourhood in San Francisco. Because her
parents didn't go to college, she didn't have any role models and
she had to learn how to navigate the system on her own. She knew
she would be a minority in the tech field but she had no way of

Michelle shares her experiences of dealing with imposter

when trying to solve coding problems as well as stand up for
herself and deal with the social aspect.
