I am Tech Bloc! Being involved in this vibrant community has provided me with countless opportunities for growth, learning, and networking. It's incredible to see the impact we are making together in the tech industry. I was connected to Ileana Gonzalez by Brooke Brandes Warren. Brooke saw that the two of us would be very aligned because we are both visionaries and doers. Then, Ileana Gonzalez introduced me to Lina G. Rugova Christine C. Hajar Moshirsadri, ITIL v3, SMC Malissa Runty. These women came together because we hadn't found the support in SATX to grow our business, so we came together, alongside Tech Bloc and formed WINC Founders. If you have not joined us yet, you should.
