Athenna M.

Athenna M.

Lead Instructor

Athenna is a recent graduate of Florida International University, where she earned a degree in Computer Science. One reason she decided to pursue a degree in CS was the lack of women going into the field. Only 18% of women pursue a degree in CS.

She has always been passionate about working with kids. When the opportunity with Code/Art presented itself, she jumped into it. She hopes to continue helping girls join the community of Computer Science.
