My journey in the broad field of information technology began during my university studies. From the beginning, my fascination with this sector was awakened, and over the years, a passion for sharing knowledge and the desire to positively influence my professional environment have emerged. My career path started in teaching, before moving towards management and coaching. With 13 years of experience as a manager, I feel a deep satisfaction in my role in supporting teams. In the largely male-dominated world of IT, I've learned to adapt over time, to the point where I no longer perceive it as a significant barrier. Taking on the role of a leader in FORTES has offered me an extraordinary opportunity. For the first time, I have found myself immersed in an environment where the female presence was emphasized in a marked way. This experience has solidified my conviction about the importance of diversity at the heart of our professional environments. FORTES resonates deeply within me, and I aspire to contribute to it in a sustainable way. FORTES embodies the tangible opportunity to change the course of women's lives in IT. Together, let us commit ourselves to this noble cause, because it is together that we can truly make a difference.
