What are your hopes for the next generation of women in tech?
I hope we continue to see a breakdown of systemic barriers and biases, more access to funding, and more representation in networks that provide mentorship and opportunities, allowing more women to continue to break into leadership roles in tech and secure startup resources.

What’s the greatest piece of advice you have ever received?
My mom always said “The bed you make is the one you sleep in” and I come back to that especially when things are tough to remind me of the resilience of my ancestors, to remind me that this is who I am and it’s what I want.
