After 10 years in tech, I learned that my biggest career mistake was not asking for help when I needed it. I struggled with a project for months, only to realize a colleague had the solution. Wish someone told me this earlier. Have you ever felt stuck? 💭 #CareerMistakes #TechJourney #AskForHelp

After 10 years in tech, I learned my biggest career mistake was not advocating for myself during performance reviews. I once let a promotion slip because I didn’t speak up. Wish someone told me this earlier. Have you ever held back in your career? 💭 #CareerGrowth #SelfAdvocacy #TechJourney

I’m gearing up for my first solo hackathon during my week-long spring break! With no lab assignments to worry about, I can dive into a tech project, explore extensively, and enhance my skills. Excited to see what I can create and learn! #Hackathon #TechJourney

Got rejected from a job I knew I had. 💔
Turned the loss into a system: mock interviews, open-source project, new resume.
Landed a better job weeks later.
Rejection isn’t the end—it’s redirection. 🚀

🔥AI isn’t the enemy.

When I first heard all the fears about AI—job loss, endless what-ifs—I felt overwhelmed, like it was a threat I couldn’t beat.

every big change scares. you will grow.

Choose growth, curiosity. That’s how we win.

I found these conference passes … it reminded me that 3 years ago, I broke into tech and set out to find my niche, using my PTO to attend local and non-local conferences. Grateful for the journey! #TechJourney #KeepLearning

Thinking about diving back into engineering, but it’s been a minute, so I’d basically be starting fresh. This time around, though, I’ve got 3 years in tech under my belt—definitely not as lost as before! 👀 #TechJourney #LevelUp
