Judith's Story My love for coding began unexpectedly—through curiosity and a desire to understand how digital tools could improve healthcare. As an Enrolled Nursing Assistant, I often wondered how systems behind patient records, recovery tracking, and medical billing actually worked. That curiosity led me to explore medical coding and billing, where I discovered the logic and structure behind digital health documentation. It was my first glimpse into the world of coding, and I was hooked. What fascinated me most was how a few lines of code could automate tasks, reduce errors, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. I started learning the basics, experimenting with healthcare app design concepts, and imagining how I could build tools that make nurses’ work easier and patients’ lives better. Coding felt like a superpower—one that could bridge my clinical experience with innovation. That spark has grown into a passion. I now see coding not just as a technical skill, but as a creative outlet and a way to solve real-world problems. It’s empowering to know that I can be part of the digital transformation in healthcare, and platforms like SheCodes make that dream feel achievable. I’m excited to keep learning, building, and using code to make a meaningful impact.

🙋‍♀️ Judith's Motivation

As a dedicated Enrolled Nursing Assistant with hands-on experience in general wards and theater recovery rooms, I’ve witnessed firsthand how technology can transform patient care. My journey in healthcare has been driven by compassion, precision, and a commitment to continuous learning. Now, I’m eager to expand my skill set through SheCodes to bridge the gap between clinical care and digital innovation. SheCodes offers a unique opportunity to empower women with coding skills, and I believe this aligns perfectly with my long-term goal of contributing to healthcare solutions that are both accessible and efficient. By learning to code, I aim to explore healthcare app design, improve digital documentation systems, and even contribute to platforms that support patient education and wellness tracking. My background in medical coding and billing, combined with certifications in infection control and digital marketing, gives me a strong foundation to understand both the technical and user-centered aspects of digital health tools. SheCodes will not only equip me with practical coding skills but also connect me with a global community of women who are reshaping industries through tech. I’m ready to take this step—not just for personal growth, but to become a more versatile healthcare professional who can innovate, lead, and inspire.
