<h3 class="section-subheading">
Kansas City native, Rhia Dixon is a software engineer at a global brand and experience agency where she creates backend software applications
using Java, Python, and a variety of other tech. While she has always been a STEM girl and holds a B.S. in Physics, her journey to the
world of tech kicked off in the summer of 2017 during a full-stack web development bootcamp at the University of Kansas-Edwards Campus.
Rhia has immersed herself in the KC tech community by volunteering -- both as a mentor, and as Diversity & Inclusion Director -- for <b>
<a href="https://kcwomenintech.org" target="_blank">Kansas City Women in Technology</a>
</b>, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing women in technology together and encouraging more women and girls to
pursue careers in technology.
<br><br>
Rhia is passionate about encouraging underrepresented and underexposed communities to take advantage of the opportunities available in tech.
She visits schools, and community events to share her story about how she launched her career in hopes that she might encourage even one
child or woman to make the jump. Currently, Rhia is available to speak at national and international conferences. Her talks
include a wide variety of topics from professional networking to application monitoring, DE&I, and getting better at code reviews.
<br><br>
When she’s not writing code, volunteering, or speaking across the globe, Rhia is chasing her toddler, building Roblox with the second-grader,
binge-watching Marvel and Harry Potter movies, finding great mom & pop eateries with her husband, or spending time making memories
with family and friends.
