I immersed myself in the IT world more than 15 years ago, although my interests did not predispose me to work in this field. In fact, at university I quickly realized that computer science helps in many areas, from cell biology to international management. When I entered the job market, surrounded by software and software packages, my desire to optimize and find solutions piqued my curiosity. I became a self-taught CRM system administrator thanks to the support of a visionary client. From one opportunity to another, I was able to work on systems configuration, process modeling, project coordination, and many others. Information Technology is a whole universe to be discovered. It ignores prejudices and encourages us to get out of established sandboxes. By getting involved in FORTES, I want to show the way to my younger colleagues. We are all unique and can bring our strengths to this world.
