Meet our Awesomeness Ambassador: Lucie!

When we announced our plan to hire someone to help us keeping up with all Django Girls things, we didn’t expect how hard and challenging this process will be for us.

We received 67 appliactions from incredibly amazing people and we faced a really tough choice because we would be happy to work with loads of them. We had two rounds of interviewes, we asked hard questions and we were blown away by the level of professionalism and commitment of people we spoke with. We are humbled and grateful that so many wonderful people wanted to work for us.

🎉✨💗 We are thrilled to announce that we found our Awesomness Ambassador: Lucie Daeye! 💗✨🎉

Lucie is involved with Django Girls form the very beginning. From the PhD student of Geography and Korean Studies who attended the first Django Girls workshop a year ago, she became a Django community member, event organizer, coach and activist. In April, she brought up to life Django Girls Paris (see photos from the event here). Then, wanting to provide a safe place for women in IT in Paris, she started Pyladies Paris. And on top of that, in June she took the DjangoCon EU 2015 stage to talk about Django in social sciences.

She checked all the requirements checkboxes for Ambassador position. Her professionalism, huge experience (also an experience dealing with hard and emotionally draining situations), empathy and reliability convinced us that she will be perfect fit for the position.

We can’t wait to start working with her!
