Any tips for women who are on the way to work in tech?
Everybody has strengths and weaknesses, and it's important to build and learn in all situations. Building relationships with the people you meet in your career and personal life. It's so important if you want to progress in your career – knowing people in different companies, roles, and industries allow you to have contacts for the future.
Ensuring you have a good work/life balance and are still doing the things you enjoy outside of work is so important. If you're burnt out, your colleagues and peers are likely to notice, and your performance at work may suffer as a result.
Finally, who inspired you the most as a woman in your life?
I have been inspiried by not any woman but my father. My father told me not to lose hope, and you can achieve all your dreams if you have a true heart and the power to do something.
