She thrives on telling real stories that make a real impact. “When I ignited the Women in Tech podcast, I wanted to create a positive piece of content with the sole purpose of showing others what’s possible.” Her podcast journey started in 2014 when she interviewed fellow techies, or as she calls them, builders and risk takers. Listen and be inspired by female founders, engineers, investors, UX and UI designers, and journalists all sharing the message of ‘if I can do it, so can you’.
