From Classroom to Boardroom: Real Talk on Tech Careers and Entrepreneurship at BMCC’s ASAP Panel
It was an honor to speak at Borough of Manhattan Community College’s recent tech panel and share my career journey in the technology industry. My path has not been a straight line–there were challenges, unexpected turns, and moments of growth that came from stepping into the unknown. Along the way, I discovered that success in tech isn’t about knowing everything from the start, but about staying curious, resilient, and willing to learn new skills.
What I hoped to leave with the students is this: no matter where you begin, there is room for you in technology. Whether you’re just exploring the field or already building toward a specific goal, every step you take builds a foundation for what’s next. If you stay open to growth and keep moving forward, opportunities will come.
