Laura works and studies at the intersection of the social and the computer: She holds a B.A. in anthropology as well as a B.Sc. in computer science while co-organizing the non-profit initiative Rails Girls Berlin. Her aim is to help humans to compute better and make computers develop more humanity. She's done so by managing coding workshops, teaching about social justice and pointing our the *isms whenever neccessary.

Also, cats are her favorite animals despite the fact that she's allergic to them.
