there's fewer of us in tech.
00:02
And so it's really amazing to feel like we're part
00:04
of a community and to share our experiences
00:07
with people who may have experienced the same thing.
00:10
It helps us not feel alone and helps us grow strategies
00:15
to help bring more diversity.
00:17
At MTA Thermal, I do a bit of everything.
00:19
So at the moment, my role is marketing manager for brand
00:23
and that entails all communications as you can imagine.
00:26
So I do strategy and budget plus some graphic design,
00:31
photography.
00:32
I also founded Women and Gender Diverse People in Tech
00:35
with Sarah Fraser from Newy Tech People.
00:38
And that really creates a community space
00:41
for women and gender diverse people to come
00:43
and whether they're interested in tech
00:45
or in the tech industry,
00:47
it provides a space for us to meet and collaborate
00:49
as well as sharing and promoting the voices
00:51
of women and gender diverse people.
00:53
The podcast is to extend our community
00:56
and our reach.
00:57
So it's really exciting to talk to more people
00:59
who say can't make it to speaker events
01:02
and also share that knowledge of those people.
01:07
I'm neurodivergent and I think being different
01:11
is our greatest strength.
01:12
So I can see how a lot of these characteristics
01:14
I have has helped me think outside the square
01:18
and really grow my skills and abilities,
01:22
but also my entrepreneurial spirit, right?
01:24
I think a lot of entrepreneurs are neurodivergent
01:27
and it helps us think outside of the norm
01:30
and think about what we could do better.
