What do you do as a Woman in Tech?

I work in commercial roles, helping clients get the most out of their tech solutions, adding value, ensuring security, and making their lives easier.

I’ve been working with various ERP, CRM, and other SaaS solutions for the past 15 years.

Fun fact: I once worked in Malta for a startup offering a Fintech SaaS solution before the word SaaS was even invented! 😊

What made you choose tech?

To be honest, it wasn’t really a choice. It just happened! I’ve always been drawn to tech projects because of my curiosity and interest in technology. Eventually, I ended up working at a tech company, loved it, and have stayed in tech ever since.

What does the Women in Tech community mean to you?

It means everything! Being a volunteer with WIT is my proudest role. The energy, the inspiring people, and the opportunity to connect with other women and companies are just amazing.

If you could give one piece of advice to an aspiring woman in tech, what would that be?

Believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are so many incredible women out there who are eager to share their experiences and support others.

What’s a hobby or interest you’re passionate about outside of work?

Traveling the world! This is my passion! I love the sun, big cities, and fancy hotels. I often travel solo, and if you haven’t tried it, you should! You never know who you’ll meet, and the best part is that you can do exactly what you want.

Last summer, I went to Japan, and now I’m planning a trip to Seoul, South Korea, and already thinking about what’s next.
