Join me as I interview Amber Shand, a Keynote Speaker, Consultant, and Software Engineer. In this episode, Amber discusses her experience of University and how her journey has enabled her to help women in tech to take up space, use their voice, and build confidence, through the She Bytes Back community. If you’re interested in moving into a completely different industry and role, this is a must listen! Amber’s inspiring energy is just what you need!
