60 Seconds with WITS Northeast Speaker — Heather Luna
Heather Luna is a DevOps Engineer at BriteCore. Her session at WITS Northeast is Alexa… a talk about developing Alexa skills.
Why is speaking at WITS important to you?
Speaking at WITS is important to me because of what WITS represents — talks that cover a wide array of topics and a safe space to network with other women in technology. Also, all proceeds from the event go to support TechGirlz! Their mission to empower young women to get involved in technology is near and dear to my heart as that’s a personal mission of mine.
What inspires you?
Seeing women succeed and slay day after day is what keeps me inspired to keep trying to do the same.
