Today's guest comes from Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco 🇲🇦 where she is finishing up her final year at Ecole Nationale des Sciences Appliquees de Berrechid (ENSA). Manal BENCHRIF was recently selected as the Google Developer Student Club lead (GDSC). 

She has been building a strong community at her campus and has built several android apps. Being able to contribute to projects and change our mindset of one that is giving back to society is very meaningful to Manal's mission. When you can help others you will also improve yourself. 

Manal has conducted several workshops & webinars, and they serve as open forums for everyone to learn together. Questions are always welcomed as that is the quickest way for all of us to learn. She is very curious about technology and shares with the community how to take that first step into software development to develop your career in the Tech field.

🖥Manal has participated in Hacktoberfest in 2020 and she highly recommends everyone try to participate, as it's a competition that encourages students to enter the World of Open Source Coding.

Some of our discussions were upon big data, artificial intelligence, technology, knowing what certificates are worth your time, LinkedIn, Hacktoberfest, and much more.

There are so many ways to solve problems, the code can be 2 lines, 10 lines, but the result is the same. We are always focusing on ongoing improvement, so never stop learning, if you want great advice it’s to share with others to learn.
