I love sharing my knowledge and experience with audiences. Over the past few years, I have established myself as an expert speaker in the tech industry and speak about topics I’m passionate about such as product management and women in tech.
I’ve spoken at a range of high-profile in-person and online events for organisations such as BBC News, Ada’s List and Google. Below is a snapshot of my speaking experience:

BBC News | Women in tech
I was featured on a BBC video discussing the lack of women in tech and how to improve this. The video was shown globally and remained in the top 10 videos for 2 weeks. This was one of my first interviews and it was so exciting to see myself on the news alongside such incredible women.
Ada’s List Conference | How (not) to speak about diversity in tech
Ada’s list is a global community of women and non-binary people in tech. In 2019, I was selected as an expert speaker at their annual conference attended by 500+ guests. I shared my marketing knowledge and expertise on how to create inclusive marketing campaigns in tech.
23 Code Street | Podcast Host
For a year I co-hosted the 23 Code Street podcast which was lots of fun! For each episode we invited an expert to join us and demystify a technical concept, we covered topics such as programming and cloud computing.
LMF Network | Balance vs burnout panel event
Having a healthy work-life balance is difficult. LMF network created a series of events focused around ‘burnout vs balance’ aimed at working professionals. I joined one event as an expert panellist and shared advice on how to achieve a healthy work/ life balance.
