Hi! I'm Heather Payne. I live in Toronto, Canada, and I'm the founder of HackerYou and Ladies Learning Code. My team and I also run Girls Learning Code. I was ShopLocket's first investor, the founding director of Toronto's Mozilla-backed youth digital literacy initiative, and I'm currently learning Ruby on Rails.

I'm really passionate about showing people - and, especially, women and girls - that they can do anything they put their mind to, whether it's learning to code, starting a business, investing in a startup, or taking on some other exciting challenge. And, yes, I coded this website myself.
