Jeffery-Morrison spoke to DC News Now from the United Kingdom, she says the DMV is a growing hotspot for women in the tech industry.
“Recent reports have named Washington, D.C. as one of the best cities, actually, for women in tech; as they make up over 30% of the tech workforce, which still isn’t high enough. But it is one of the highest in the U.S.,” she said.
