What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute much of my success to my mother and the way she raised me as a single parent to me and my two sisters. Her example taught me resilience, self-advocacy, and the importance of using my voice—qualities that have been essential in navigating the demands of the tech industry. She also inspired me to carry myself with confidence and to share what I’ve learned with others who are on a similar path, which continues to shape how I show up professionally today.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering my industry is to stay true to who they are and never lose their voice. Even in spaces where they may not see many people who look like them, it’s important to remember that their presence matters and that they do belong there. Confidence doesn’t always mean feeling fully comfortable—it means showing up anyway and continuing to represent yourself with purpose and authenticity.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field right now is the continued lack of representation in many spaces, which can sometimes impact confidence and limit participation for those who don’t see themselves reflected in the room. At the same time, there are significant opportunities emerging through rapid advancements in agentic AI and cloud-native technologies. I’ve had the chance to contribute to launching and building agentic applications that address real-world problems, and I see tremendous potential for these innovations to transform how we work and solve complex challenges.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
One of my key motivations in both my work and personal life is advancing inclusivity in technology. I’m intentional about being visible in the tech space so that others who may not often see themselves represented can recognize that they belong here too. If someone comes across my profile and feels encouraged or affirmed in their own aspirations, especially as a Black person in tech, that matters deeply to me. Ultimately, my values are rooted in representation, visibility, and helping create pathways for others to feel seen, heard, and empowered to pursue a future in tech if that’s what they choose.
