Paula
In a Nutshell:

Adventurer ⁕ Hiker ⁕ Innovator

Job Title:

Software Security Engineer

How she’s helping change the face of technology

I enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I recently completed a 1-week hike in the Pisgah Forest. I hope to move up the corporate chain, manage an engineering team, and have a successful startup.

The challenges she’s ready to take on

I have sometimes felt like I wasn’t good enough to be in Tech. I like this quote: “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”

What the RTC community means to her

I joined RTC in 2018 because I was invited to an event, and everyone greeted me with a warm smile and love. The community has supported me by uplifting and supporting my dreams in Tech. I stayed in Computer Science because the RTC community motivated me to keep going.

What are your aspirations?

I would like to tap into National Security. Technology has evolved and transformed and can be used to protect critical infrastructure, and prevent cyberattacks and other types of security breaches.
