My Personal Journey

The journey is the moment of life that defines and rebuilds the myths we create for ourselves and others. Ideals of biased communities and selected groups are often considered patterns to obey. To escape the pressure of group standards, people have to move beyond the community boundaries and discover their true identity. In such a trip, planned reflections and unexpected revelation are expected. Traveling in my life and trying to judge myself in that cycle, the journey is every minute of my existence.

I discussed previously about my personal journey as a transfer student researcher, but I will interview different transfer scholars in different disciplines to reveal multiple trips. By listening to their stories, they can motivate and inform other transfer students, letting them know, they can demonstrate their ability to transfer to the research community, breaking the stereotypes. Paige Curson is an advanced student in chemistry and materials science, transferred from Moorpark College in 2016. Materials science is a field where new useful materials are discovered using chemistry and engineering. Once she shifts to UCLA, she wants a career in the materials science industry, so I would like to enter the research phase.

In my personal journey, I was interested in science and mathematics from a young age, but as my education progressed, I found that there was little support for my interest in my academic background It was. I have not realized most of the opportunities to apply my interests in a practical way. In some of my early career positions, I got the opportunity that leadership thought it was better suited for my gender. In one experience, as I had previously worked in movies and television, when I was doing internship for feature films I was given a place to influence wardrobe and art direction team. Please encourage my male opponent to cover the grip / electric and camera departments.

Since the topics of "industry leading women" and "gender equality in the technology industry" are still convincing, I spent a while thinking about my personal journey as a role of leadership in particular. This is my story, providing tips and personal growth considerations to improve your career in technical leadership. Prior to joining ThoughtWorks five years ago, I worked as a full-time employee, consultant and contractor as an agile developer and as a coach for various industries. ThoughtWorks seems to be the next step as companies that I actually do not think are disappointed with that software. They not only provide software but also solve customer problems.
