I'm a woman working in technology

“As the Chair of Tech Women I want to change industry perceptions that women can’t be technical. One of the biggest benefits of working in the technology field is the variety of work and amazing opportunities to grow and develop.”

2018 I didn't start my career with Deloitte

“My journey with Deloitte so far has been extraordinary. Consulting is a very trust orientated, autonomous environment where I am given the freedom to take my ideas forward and have them supported.”

Now Promotion to Associate Director and planning a wedding

“I am really excited about the next stage in my career. I’ve just gotten engaged so getting married and potentially starting a family is also in the future plan. I feel like I can have this balance here.”
