I was really sceptical about applying to this summer school programme at first because I did not use to get out of my comfort zone often, and I was not sure if it was worth it. But I gave it a shot, and I can honestly say that this was the best experience of my life so far! The Summer School for Female Leadership in the Digital Age was an incredible opportunity for me to build connections with people around the world, explore new perspectives and learn more about women in tech. This week in Lisbon surpassed my expectations since the programme was so well-organized and everyone made us feel special for being there. One of my favorite parts of this journey, is connecting with the other 26 talented, young women that participated and hear about their stories and future goals. I am forever grateful for this opportunity and I would advise everyone to take the chance, try out new things and get involved in matters that are important to them because you cannot reach success if you are not willing to make an effort!
