Born and raised in Ecuador, I knew from a young age that I needed to get out and see the world. Naturally, I
chose a career in the Tourism industry. Did I realise that meant I’d be working mostly weekends and public holidays? No,
of course I didn't. Nonetheless, I found a passion in creating memorable travel experiences. From face-to-face
interactions, to creating holiday packages, to training and coaching employees to provide the best possible customer
experience - it all came down to that warm feeling you get when you put a smile on someone’s face.
Then 2020 happened. I won't rehash the impact of C-word on the entire planet, but I did find myself in the inevitable
position of having to change industries entirely. As a resident of Silicon Fen (Cambridge, UK for those who aren’t
familiar), the path became increasingly obvious. After some research, I came across SheCodes Workshops (‘Yay!' for
third-party cookies?) and it changed my life. Shortly after, I was able to use my previous experience to land a job as
Instructional Designer in a Semiconductor company… and so my journey in Tech begins.
