This week has been busy! I was on two panels - one was a Technology Careers Panel at Wilbur Wright College and the other, a celebration of International Women's Day.
Both were amazing and made me realize that I really enjoy panels - sharing my stories and experiences 🙌🏾, but also being able to meet other cool people! I was also able to share my ask of looking for new opportunities and have some good leads in the pipeline and coffee chats to schedule. 🤞🏾 Also, I received some great information this week about roles I could pursue with my skills: Customer Success and Partner Experience so I'll be researching those some more.
In other news, a couple weeks ago, I was a guest on the Live for Yourself Consulting podcast with Benjamin Ritter chatting all about side hustles. The episode has been released! Check it out here.
Also!!! Our first rehearsal for Fear Experiment is tomorrow! Super nervoucited (nervous/excited - h/t to my friend Christine) to make some new friends and learn some Broadway moves over the next couple months. 💃🏾
On to the picks!
P.S. Daylight Savings Time is tomorrow which actually snuck up on me (along with Mercury in Retrograde) so don't forget to spring forward an hour! ⏰
