She has moved to Cambodia in 2015 from Europe to work in the field of IT education. In 2019 she has founded Sisters of Code, the first and the only coding club for Cambodian girls. This program aims to empower and support female students through education and the resulting confidence to discover their full potential and grow a new generation of digital creators in Cambodia.
She is saying "As a mother, I know how important it is to create a supportive atmosphere for teenage girls. Coding is a new challenge for many of them.”
