Blessing A, RTC Early Career Member
Job Title:

RTC UK&I Community Development Manager

How she’s helping change the face of technology

I am a dynamic global citizen with a solid 5-year foundation in the tech industry, having previously worked at Microsoft. Raised in diverse cultures across Nigeria, Germany, Scotland, and the United States, I possess a unique perspective that fuels my dedication to empowering individuals from all walks of life. With a profound appreciation for education, I continue to inspire others, using technology as a force for positive change.

How she decided she wanted to pursue a career in tech

I switched my interests many times – ultimately going down the spectrum from really technical to a little less technical. I found that my curiosity and skillset fall within the intersection of business/design and technology. Ever since I realised that a tech career does not only have to be about coding, I was excited!

What the RTC community means to her

I joined RTC because I wanted to find a community of women who were interested in technology. Being one of the few girls in my Computer Science classes, I felt like I didn’t have many people I could relate to. Since I joined RTC in 2018, it has been a life-changing program for me. It played a pivotal role in preparing me for the corporate world by providing invaluable experiences, from company visits to enhancing my financial literacy and leadership skills.
