Thrilled to say I passed my viva with no corrections and am officially PhDone.

Won my first women in tech award before 30 for yapping about coding and tech jobs for a bit too long (4 years I can’t-)

I literally forgot I self-nominated myself in June thinking I wanted to “practise” applying to awards. Send that app, post that post, just do it 😭
