"Ours is a diverse, multicultural, and interconnected world. But at many tech companies, you would never know it" - Nakeema Stefbauer, FrauenLoop Founder. FrauenLoop was created to support a technological future in which everyone contributes and no one feels marginalized, tokenized or stigmatized. It is a community of technology professionals who understand how tech defines nearly every aspect of modern life, including how we learn, work, hire, and socialize. We select and train motivated women-identified persons for professional jobs in emerging tech where their diverse perspectives can make a difference. I provide 1:1 coaching to FrauenLoop students covering analysis of their current goals, network and industry insights and practical tips for the next phase of their career paths. I also design and facilitate bespoke career workshops for FrauenLoop students who otherwise face obstacles to starting or re-entering professional tech industry roles. My aim is to help students define their future vision, translate it into a mission and understand how to pitch their skills in the tech world. My approach seeks out individual potential and encourages a pragmatic approach to navigating individual career journeys. The FrauenLoop program has been evaluated as a “best practice” by the SiforREF project which identifies Best Practices as initiatives or projects that create an added value for refugee integration.

I spent summer engaging with my local community as part of the team at The Ballery in Schöneberg.
