I studied computer engineering in college and wanted to go into software development. But I didn’t want to be writing code all day, stuck in front of a computer. I really liked working with people and making connections and relationships outside of just technology. So, I wanted to explore different jobs, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted, until I received a scholarship to attend the Grace Hopper Conference for Women in Computing in 2019.
It was fate. At this conference and career fair, I spoke with a systems engineer who explained their job role and responsibilities and I decided this was the job for me! It was everything I was looking for.
