Ever wondered what it’s actually like to build a career in data — especially as usually the only woman in the room? I’ve worked across two very different environments, from the construction industry to high-growth startup tech, and in both roles I was the first data hire, building the data foundation from the ground up.
I’ve gone from working solo to growing and supporting a full analytics team, which has given me a clear view into what makes someone successful in data roles — and what hiring managers are really looking for in data analysts and data engineers.
This will be an open, honest AMA space designed for women navigating (or curious about) careers in data and tech. No gatekeeping, no fluff — just real experiences and practical insight.
Whether you’re just getting started or already in the field and looking for clarity, community, or direction — you’re welcome here.
