Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at From Employee to Entrepreneur: Women’s Roundtable & Mastermind during LA Tech Week!

I shared a little about my journey from software engineer to full-time tech content creator, and what it took to make that transition.

I started creating content as a side project while working full-time. Eventually, my audience grew, brands started reaching out, and content creation became a real business. But even when my creator income matched my engineering salary, I was hesitant to take the leap.

Getting laid off for the second time ended up giving me the push I needed!

We talked about the opportunities and challenges of entrepreneurship, from unpredictable income to trusting your own path, even when others don’t quite understand it.

A big thank you to the organizers @mariakami and @kroshkad for inviting me and bringing together such an inspiring group of women. It was lovely connecting with everyone! ❤️
