Farmer, currently Chief Technology Office of GitLab. The scholarship covers in-state tuition for the fall and spring semesters and is awarded up to two recipients per year. As a woman in Computer Science it can feel like you are outnumbered and sometimes alone, but there are many women wishing you success and hope you join them in the very rewarding career a Computer Science degree can bring. There were many times I questioned my abilities as a Computer Scientist while in school. The thought of changing paths occurred several times. In the last 30 years Ive had an incredibly rewarding career that has included working with some of the best and brightest and traveling the world. Im currently at GitLab helping companies across the globalbuild,secure, and launch software tobillions of people so thereis no shortage of interesting problems tosolve. This scholarship was created to encourage women to stick with this career because while there are challenges, the rewards are tremendous. About the Founder Sabrina Farmer graduated from 鶹Ƶapp with a BS in Computer Science in Dec 1995. After graduation she accepted a job in southern California as a contractor to the Department of Defense. She relocated to Silicon Valley in 1997 and stayed in research in both the private and public sectors for several years. She has since worked for several Internet companies both as start-ups and well-established businesses including Excite@Home, WebMD, and Netsuite. She was formerly Vice President of Engineering at Google, responsible for Gmail, and lives with her husband and two children. Her work has taken her around the world including Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, and Japan. She has been a strong advocate for women in engineering including speaking at the University of New South Wales and currently leads a Diversity project at Google. She also works with several businesses on their diversity programs. She founded this scholarship in 1996 after she graduated as a way to give back and encourage women to work through their fears of what will happen and rely on their ability to bring their talents to an industry that will only be successful with diverse points of view and perspectives.
