My path to technology was not a straight one. I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (careful not to say CIA, based on our work) and worked as a pastry chef and various other food industry aspects. It was not until sometime after I achieved my Bachelor’s degree from the NY Institute of Technology that I ended up in technology. A friend that owned a web technology company asked me to join them. In 2006 I was looking for a new opportunity and met Vinnie Brunetti of RVM playing softball. I was looking for a new opportunity, and Vinnie was looking for someone that knew how to network and build relationships. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n
What were some pivotal moments in your career that helped to get you to where you are today?<\/h2>\n
My culinary career taught me that the customer is always right, and the best thing I ever learned was that people do business with people they know, like, and trust.<\/p>\n
Have you ever noticed a time in your career where your gender proved to differentiate you?<\/h2>\n
I am used to being the only woman in the room. I grew up with 3 older brothers, was the only girl on the boy’s track team in junior high, and went to Culinary School where there were less than 25% women.<\/p>\n
What is your advice for someone working in a predominately male workplace?<\/h2>\n
Be yourself, speak up, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Ask for a mentor, someone at the company who has been where you are.<\/p>\n
What do you think companies could do to motivate more women to pursue careers in technology?<\/h2>\n
Start early, with outreach to girls in grade school, middle school, high school, and college, letting them know how rewarding a career in technology can be.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
