What inspired me into digital and tech...
A friend told me about her non standard journey into tech, she made me realise that I had been pigeon-holing myself. I'd always had an interest in technology and she helped me realise that this was something I could develop!

What advice I'd give to girls thinking about a career in digital and tech...
Don't be put off by perceptions. The industry is far more welcoming, accessible, and inclusive than any other environment I've worked in. A career in digital or tech doesn't mean coding, there is a lot variety to be found!
