In this episode I am joined by thee AMAZING Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza. Gwyn shot to Twitter and YouTube stardom during 2020 and became an Azure MVP. She has recently secured her dream role as a Cloud Advocate at Microsoft. Gwyn has a super inspiring story and I really love her authenticity when it comes to sharing her stories.
In this Gwyn shares how she got in to tech and we discuss the importance of being authentic. We're share our reasons for blogging, vlogging and being part of the community and have a pretty open and frank discussion around topics like imposter syndrome, feeling proud of our achievements and the difference between doing this type of activity for a specific image vs being yourself.
