Creating balance and representation in technology
from The Inclusion Bites Podcast · host Joanne Lockwood
Nicole became an accidental technologist; it wasn't her career idea. She had been a techie for more than 20 years and the only woman not only in the tech team but also the only woman in the whole office. She has worked on all sorts of technologies. She has seen, heard, and been the subject of bias - from men and women. Queen bee syndrome in technology has been a problem, it's horrible to look at yourself and recognise this in an older version of you. I've grown, and I want to make sure that other people do too. Grow, learn and evolve. Nicole is also an "invisible bi" because she is married to a guy and lives in a chocolate box-looking money pit, thatched cottage with their dogs and cat. She tries to keep her perimenopausal self fit, but mostly she talks about keeping fit and eating copious amounts of chocolate.
