Sontcera' McWilliams grew up on Chicago's West Side. She enjoys listening to music, riding her bicycle, driving, and volunteering to teach basic computer skills to women. Her most satisfying civic experience was volunteering at a computer lab for a housing program for women. She originally joined i.c.stars to learn coding and get paid, but after learning about their mission to build leaders and create opportunities in technology, she now sees it as an opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
