I recently shared my story with Authority Magazine about transforming from a young girl who was told to "stay in her lane" to a tech leader advocating for inclusive innovation. 


In this candid interview, I open up about:
✨ Building my first computer with newspaper route money
✨ How Star Wars ignited my tech passion
✨ Why "nothing about us without ALL of us" became my rallying cry
✨ The power of authentic leadership in tech
