EMPOWERING TOMORROW'S TECH LEADERS
Welcome.
The EmpowerTech Conference marks the opening of a bold new chapter—a space where technology intersects with the values of diversity and leadership, laying the foundation for a more inclusive future. This isn’t just a conference; it’s the realization of a vision close to my heart, one that unites community, collaboration, and courage to drive meaningful change in the tech industry.
​As the Co-President of Women in IT Management (WITM), I’ve witnessed firsthand the strength that emerges when diverse voices come together to share, challenge, and inspire. EmpowerTech was created from my belief that bringing people together can lead to real change. It's grounded in WITM’s core values of Empowering Women, Allyship, and Innovation in Technology. It is my hope that this conference becomes a space where students, professionals, and industry leaders connect, learn, and push boundaries—together.​
​​
As I approach the end of my journey at TMU, EmpowerTech is my gift to this community. It’s a testament to what’s possible when we champion inclusivity, drive innovation, and uplift one another.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. I am confident that the impact we create together will resonate far beyond today.
