2 min readMar 16, 2022
Jen Muller is a Technical Project Manager at Demonware. Her session at the WITS Spring 2022 Virtual Summit is The Power of Mentorship.
Why is speaking at WITS important to you?
- For me it’s important for people to see that entering tech is not something it’s too late to do, I transitioned into a career in tech in my 30s. So often people are looking to hire those with years of experience in the industry or those fresh out of college, I prove that a passion and appetite to learn, grow, and succeed can also be a great to thing to look for and nurture.

When you were a kid what was your dream job?
- Honestly I’m not sure I ever settled on one thing. I went through phases where I wanted to be an artist or a dancer, and then at one point I wanted to be a fighter pilot! While I still create and dance in my free time I eventually realized that what I really wanted was the ability to keep learning and growing and I’ve found that in what I do now (I never got that pilots license though… at least not yet)
Tell us something about your session
- In my session I’ll share my journey of going from being a yoga teacher to a Senior Technical Project Manager and how mentorship has helped me in achieving my goals, how you can do the same and help others do it too.
