- The ability to work in deeply technical and leadership roles is not gender-specific.
- The more deeply technical you get, the more rewards there are.
- The importance of professional development. Invest in yourself.
- Paying it forwards to other women. Become a mentor to others.
- Staying part of the conversation. Be a champion for women in technology. Make yourself heard. But also know that it’s ok to then pass on the baton and let others lead the charge.
