Wegmans has been a sponsor for WiCHacks since 2018.
WiCHacks is an all-female and non-binary 24-hour hackathon hosted by Women in Computing at RIT. A hackathon is a collaborative programming event in which participants create an app, website, game, or other piece of software over the course of the event.
This event is open to all skill levels: from students who haven't programmed at all, to the best programmers out there, it will be a great day to learn, invent, and create the future!
When Wegmans asked me to volunteer for the WiChacks event that they sponsor, I was happy to oblige. To assist and be part of an event where other females aspire to go into technology is an honor.

Going to college and being one of two females who graduated with Computer Science in a Software Development track has made me a supporter of other females who have a similar passion for technology.
In 2020 I lead organizing the event for Wegmans as being a sponsor. I gathered volunteers, judges, swag, and prizes for the event.
In 2019 I attended a dinner where students could ask questions about my field and career.
In 2018 I gave a speech at the Tech Talk to talk about technology Wegmans was building for their customer's.
Speaking to other women who are ambitious, driven, and have a love for tech like me is an honor. My hope is that my stories and experiences will have them continue to pursue their passions and love for technology as a career so that one day they can speak to young women like themselves with their success stories.
