So incredibly grateful to the Durham University Women In Technology group for having me lead an inspiring discussion today on demystifying tech career opportunities, advocating for minorities, and cultivating resilience! It was empowering to explore ways to build grit, resilience, and alliances for future success in the tech industry. I am a proud International Advisory Board member of the Durham University Business School because of the leadership skills student organizers like Lara Tatli, Allaida Siow, Kaalkidan Sahele, and Mariia Slobodianiuk exemplify. Should you wish to learn more about learning more about getting in touch as an alumni or what Durham University can do for you and your company, please feel free to reach out to Stephanie Osborne and Grace Norman. #WomenInTech #DiversityInTech #TechAdvocacy #ResilienceBuilding #Empowerment #physics #computerscience #psychology #law #quantum #UK #US #STEM
