I created Technically Different to build another space for diversity in the tech world to be displayed. Currently I’m a PhD student in Orlando, FL and I have spent the last two years learning everything possible about starting a career in the tech world and I would sum it all up here: there’s an unlimited number of ways to have a career in the tech world. (Not helpful, I know, feel free to email me if you want to talk specifics of career building.)
My academic background is in anthropology and linguistics and as a grad student I’m focusing on Digital Media, Technical Communication, and XR. When someone asks why I shifted from liberal arts to tech, the answer is simple: you don’t need to be able to hear to code. That’s right, I’m hard-of-hearing, and I was thinking long-term. In addition to this, I also balance depression in my daily life – these two factors are daily influences in how I view my work and life.
My perspective is one of an endless number of perspectives that exist throughout the tech world, and all deserve to be seen and celebrated.
