Session
Breaking into tech can feel overwhelming, but mentorship and community can make all the difference. In this talk, I’ll share my journey from transitioning into tech to becoming an Outreachy intern with the Fedora Project and how that experience shaped my career. Beyond being mentored, I’ve now taken up the role of a mentor—building a community to support aspiring and transitioning Product Managers. Through my story, I’ll highlight the impact of structured mentorship, the importance of fostering welcoming spaces in open-source communities, and how we can empower new voices in tech. This talk is for anyone looking to navigate their own transition, give back through mentorship, or build a thriving community that drives growth for both individuals and the broader ecosystem.
