What or who inspired you to pursue a career in tech?

For me, the journey into tech started with pure curiosity – an endless fascination with how things worked and a desire to make them work better. As a child, I loved puzzles and problem-solving, and was always eager to understand the mechanics behind everyday things. But the real turning point came from watching my father, an engineer, approach challenges with logic, precision, and an unwavering belief that every problem had a solution.  

That mindset struck with me. When I pursued engineering, I found myself drawn to technology’s ability to transform ideas into reality. Testing and quality assurance, in particular, became my passion because they sit at the intersection of innovation and reliability. It’s not about making software work – it’s about making seamless, efficient, and valuable for the people who use it.  

What inspires me today is the impact technology has on business and lives. Whether it’s streamlining services or helping teams build confidence in their systems, I love knowing that my work makes a tangible difference. And as technology continues to evolve, so does my excitement to explore, learn and help others navigate this ever-changing space.
 

What challenges have you faced and overcome?

Throughout my career, I’ve faced high pressure situation where projects were at risk – tight deadlines, missing stakeholders, and incomplete plans. Instead of seeking these as roadblocks, I’ve tackled them with strategic problem-solving, clear communication, and teamwork, turning challenges into success stories. Additionally, navigating traditionally male-dominated industry pushed me to prove my expertise and advocate for diverse voices. Today, I’m passionate about empowering teams, sharing knowledge, and fostering environments where diverse perspectives are valued – because the best solutions come from collaboration, not conformity.
 

What has been your most exciting career project?

I had the opportunity to work on Royal Adelaide Hospital project, from the build phase through to operations and maintenance. I managed multiple testing streams with various vendors and clients and each day was a unique experience. It was truly inspiring to witness how technology was transforming people’s daily lives, all while navigating complex testing demands across different stakeholders.
 

What motivates you at work?

For me, motivation comes from impact – knowing that the work I do help businesses runs smoother, teams work efficiently, and customers have better experiences. I thrive on solving complex challenges, whether it’s turning a struggling project, improving quality processes or mentoring teams to reach their full potential.  

Beyond the technical side, I love the human element of my work – collaborating with diverse teams, building strong client relationships, and driving solutions that make a real difference. Seeing a project go live successfully, a team gain confidence, or a client trust my expertise keeps me inspired every day.  

And with technology constantly evolving, there’s always something to learn, improve, and innovate – which is exactly what keeps me excited about what I do!
 

What is your advice for women wanting to pursue a career in tech?

My advice is simple: Go for it! The tech industry is full of exciting opportunities where your curiosity, creativity and problem-solving skills can truly shine. Don’t let doubts – whether they are your own or others' – hold you back.  

Be confident in what you bring to the table, speak up, ask questions, and take on challenges that push you to grow. Surround yourself with supportive mentors and be sure to lift up other women along the way. Your voice and your perspective are exactly what this industry needs. 

And remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all path in tech. Whether you are drawn to coding, design or testing, follow what excites you. There’s a world of possibilities waiting for you.
