After starting a career in programming, Korene Stuart felt there was more she could do to improve the lives of the community in which she lives. Learning the statistics for people of color in STEM fields was a wake-up call and she now serves as the director of MAScode( Minorities Advancing through STEM), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization she established that exposes both children and adults to the amazing careers of S.T.E.M.(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). She encourages experienced professionals in those fields to give back to communities in need. Her ability to effectively engage offers her the opportunities to serve in different leadership roles such as the Technical Lead for Black Girls Code Miami, serving on the Broward County Schools S.T.E.M Task Force and a facilitator for the Jamaican Diaspora Education Task Force.

Without boxing myself in too much, I describe myself as always curious, overly energetic, and a holistically inclined person. By night, I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a small private practice and every other waking hour I’m a Product Designer of digital products. In 2017 I chose to evolve my career to include design and development with a focus on Front-end development. My everyday motivation is to bridge gaps between needs and resources. I feel inspired by tech and design’s ability to have a positive impact on a grander scale.
