Entrenched in whiteness and toxic masculinity, the computing field makes it difficult for Latina students to see themselves in computing careers. This phenomenological study explored computing identity development for Latina students at a Hispanic-serving community college (HSCC). Latina students emphasized the importance of leveraging competence and various forms of community cultural wealth to shape computing identities. They also articulated how gendered societal norms and socio-economic concerns influenced their computing identity experiences at the HSCC.
