Underrepresented talent in the tech industry face unique professional challenges.
It’s a competitive and ever-evolving environment for all, and those looking to transition to a role in this fast-paced field have dreams of growing their careers.
In any industry, as an underrepresented professional, you can face times where you need to advocate for yourself and seek new opportunities for growth and expansion.
As an Asian-American, Plex’s Junior Software Engineer, Ashley Llewellyn, knows what it’s like to face these challenges head-on.
Her podcast SisterCodes helps women and people of color embrace who they are in their technical roles. She will discuss how to seek new opportunities and grow their careers effectively.
Ashley’s goal is to help others find success while teaching them how to be a good ally for women and people of color in the industry.
In this chat, she will discuss:
- Strategically navigating the world of tech as an underrepresented professional
- Owning your professional growth through self-advocacy and mentorship.
