🛠 Community Builder & Diversity Advocate

Community is everything. I've been involved in several different communities over the years with the goal of connecting with others and creating a better environment for engineers. With diversity and inclusion at the core of my community work, I have actively worked with groups to help bridge the inequalities in the tech industry, focusing speficially on females and people of colour representation.

Women in Tech - Code First: Girls & Diversity work
For over 5 years, I've proudly worked with Code First: Girls to deliver coding community courses for young women. I have also been involved in the furtHER program and Code First: Girls Fellowship program as a mentor to upskill young women into joining the industry. Currently, I'm one of the CFG Brand Ambassadors.

In addition, I was part of the Gender Equality Network (GEN) at BT where I regularly push initiatives at our Leeds base.

Building communities - student groups
I pioneered the first Women in Tech student community at the University of Sheffield. Also, as part of the MedTech Sheffield committee, I led in bringing students from different backgrounds together to events, workshops and hackathons.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Community Builders Program
I became a AWS Community Builder in 2021. As part of the programme, I'll be sharing my knowledge through content on my blog and YouTube Channel, helping others in their own journey getting into AWS.

Ladies in DevOps
I founded the Ladies in DevOps community in April 2021. It's a community geared for women in the DevOps/SRE/Cloud/Infra space. It’s a safe space for them to connect and network with others and bring about visibility of the exciting roles in the industry.
