Ileana Crudu: She’s Got the It Factor

Ileana Crudu

Before graduating High School, Ileana entered into a program called GirlsGoIT, which is an inspirational program in Moldova (where Ileana is from) that empowers girls to break from traditional gender norms and teaches them valuable skills to enter into the IT field. After completing the program and graduating from high school, Ileana went on to study knowledge engineering at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. She is now a relentless ambassador for the program and encourages other girls to break down norms and study technology and code.

“I am proud if people say that I code like a girl because I know I can rock the world with my code!”
