It is with deep gratitude that we share the story of our former Chief Operating Officer, Jennifer Wei, who made incredible contributions to Techbridge Girls during her 12 years with us.

During my three and a half years as the CEO of Techbridge Girls, I’ve experienced this fearless leadership on both a personal level and an organizational level.

“Empowered women empower women.” To some, this might just be a powerful quote, but for Rhonda Morris, it’s a way of life.
