Hi there fellow developer!

Hi there, my name is Noelia Cabane, I'm 29 and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a Product Designer and front-end developer and I use HAML/Sass on a daily basis. I'm also an active member of the tech community and a mentor for beginners in the industry. 

I gave talks about Sass best practices on 3 RubyConfs (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay) already and I received really good feedback about them. But I still feel the need to be a part of the global Front end community if I really want to improve, to learn more and then teach even better practices.
Besides my technical improvement, I like to talk at conferences because I feel it help us devs to become closer together. Also I see myself as an influencer of perceptions of women in tech. I train women that want to learn to code with no charge at all. I've organized Rails Girls last year so I'm a real advocate of the free education in tech.
The main issue I have is that I've already supported myself with the expenses to go to TropicalRuby Conf to give a Workshop. So now I don't have the resources to assist to MagmaConf.

Risks & Challenges

My first challenge is to gather the money for the ticket. Which approximately is between U$S1.290/1.490 in Aeromexico. I guess I can provide myself the accommodation close to the event. Not really sure how expensive accomodation will be, but I can do CouchSurfing. 

Also, the event has some housing discounts as well for speakers.  And also the event provides 2 meals for each day so the most expensive thing will be the plane ticket.

If I'm able to get the money, I will mention my helpers in my talk. And if you represent a company, I will mention the company as well.

Other Ways You Can Help

Money isn't just the only thing I need from you, if you want you can share this to help me to raise the money faster.
