Sharon pursued a degree in Biology at the University of Pretoria, where she achieved excellent academic results. However, after the tragic passing of both her parents, she had to drop out of school due to a lack of financial support and the loss of access to a computer. Despite these heartbreaking challenges, Sharon did not give up. She began learning how to code using her smartphone.

In April 2024, Sharon was accepted as one of our first Y-members. She is now becoming a full-stack developer, gaining practical experience, and benefiting from access to a laptop, a coworking space, and financial support. Most importantly, she is surrounded by motivated peers and mentors.

Sharon's dream is to find an employer who will give her the chance to prove her dedication and talent, and to kickstart a successful tech career.
