True and energetic

I joined IT totally by chance 2 years ago. I was still unfamiliar with the industry, but I had already heard so many stories that I had to go check it out for myself. Over time, I was able to see that some of the rumors were accurate, but also that many of them came from prejudiced, unconscious bias. I must admit that it is sometimes a difficult and demanding environment, especially for women who are still too few, and who are also victims of these biases. On the other hand, it is also a sector made up of people who are passionate, invested and dedicated to their work. These are the reasons that pushed me to join FORTES. Allowing me to share real experiences, making women aware of what this sector has to offer, and limiting established beliefs and myths, are for me a way to bring more diversity to our teams.

“Among the diverse pool of mentors within the FORTES mentorship program, I found a compassionate and inspiring mentor. Jean-Francois embodies great leadership! We made the most of our hourly sessions by discussing and setting attainable short- and long-term goals. His feedback is empowering, and our collaboration has been impactful. I am already getting more comfortable with taking up space in the (tech) world. Thank you JF and FORTES!”
