Navigating the tech world as a woman can sometimes feel like trying to find your way through a maze while blindfolded. Trust me, I’ve been there. Between the endless amounts of data, coding challenges, and the occasional “Did you really build that?” looks from your colleagues, it can be quite the journey! But I’ve made it my mission to shine a light on the challenges and triumphs women face in this exciting field. It’s all about empowerment, and I want to share stories that not only inspire but also equip women to thrive in tech. If I can encourage even one woman to raise her hand in a meeting or apply for that promotion, then I’m all in!

When I’m not deep in the code or strategizing the next big project, you can usually find me with my nose buried in a good book or experimenting in the kitchen—watch out, there’s a new cookie recipe every week! I’ve become quite the aficionado of trying to recreate those funky cafe treats at home, with varying degrees of success (my last attempt at a matcha latte? Let’s just say I’ll leave that to the professionals!). And while I’m not out climbing mountains, I do enjoy exploring the city for hidden gems, whether it’s a cozy coffee shop or an art exhibit. In my world, balance is key, and I believe having a blend of passions makes those tech challenges a little more bearable!
