In this episode, I sit down with Shondalyn Smith, an inspiring Black Woman in Tech with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and a Master's in Cybersecurity.

Shondalyn’s passion for technology sparked in her pre-teen years, thanks to a peer role model, and her journey since has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Coming from humble beginnings, Shondalyn leveraged hard work, dedication, and a strategic mindset to seize every opportunity that came her way.

Our conversation dives deep into the importance of investing in yourself, navigating big career decisions, continuous learning, certifications, and finding your unique path as a technologist.

Shondalyn candidly shares her wisdom on how she’s built a fulfilling and financially rewarding career while staying true to her passions. Straightforward, driven, and relatable, she offers invaluable advice for anyone looking to make their mark in tech.
I left this conversation with a deep admiration for her, and I think you will too!
