Technology Leadership: Finding My Voice As a Woman in Tech

Last week, I traveled with more than 30 Mediacurrent team members to Nashville for DrupalCon 2018. It was a great week to learn about the future of Drupal and Digital, as well as spend some time with the Mediacurrent team.

While I was in Nashville, I was able to participate in a business panel at the very first Decoupled Summit. As I sat at the table with my co-panelists, I noticed something that hadn’t been on my radar before - 3 of the 4 participants on this panel were women. At a Technology conference that’s still fairly unique, and it wasn’t lost on me. 

Technology Community Unites in WNC

This Spring, almost 100 members of the Western North Carolina technology community, including tech workers, public officers, and entrepreneurs, came together to create a shared vision of tech in our region. As a remote web developer in Asheville, NC and an organizer of the Asheville Drupal User Group, I am always looking for ways to grow our group and spread the use of Drupal. I attended the UNITE WNC Summit to actively participate in shaping the future of my community.
