"My teammate invited me to join her at Tech It Out and I was inspired to hear so many powerful women showing up, giving back and absolutely owning the room. I joined the mentorship program that year and was introduced to the power of lifting each other up, making room for growth, but most importantly finding myself with a voice at a table filled with amazing women."
