dev46 Girls Tech Academy is an official P.R. 1101.1 and U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization bringing equality and equity to our community through IT education and workforce development.
Agnes brings technology expertise, nonprofit experience, and commitment to equity and social change. She brings over 23 years of experience leading Information Technology (IT) operations in Higher Education institutions for the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. She has also taught IT courses at Bellevue College in Washington, provides Library and IT support at Goddard College in Vermont, and currently holds the CIO position at Bates Technical College in Tacoma, Washington.
Her passion for both technology and education as well as her experience having to leave the island to improve her opportunities made her a perfect match for dev46 and a role model for our participants. More importantly her public service life experiences made Adelaide and her decision to start this organization simple and humbling.
