WNB.rb

Ongoing

I am the co-founder and co-organizer (along with Jemma Issroff) of WNB.rb, a virtual community for women and non-binary Ruby developers. Jemma and I started WNB.rb with the goal of supporting a more diverse group of people in making an impact on the Ruby community. In two years, it has grown into a community of over 600 technologists, with initiatives including a monthly meetup, book club, interview study group, conference proposal review group, and more!

RubyConf Mini

In the wake of the political changes making it unsafe for some community members to attend RubyConf 2022, I worked with Jemma Issroff and Andy Croll to organize an alternative option. RubyConf Mini took place in November 2022 in Providence, Rhode Island. It featured 30 sessions, with a heavy focus on inclusion and belonging.
