Zeta Global Inclusion & Diversity

Describe your experience as a woman in engineering. What are some of the challenges you’ve faced, and how have you overcome them?

Being a woman in engineering has been a mix of excitement, growth and constant learning to stay up to date with the latest technology trends in the industry. Early on, I felt a lot of pressure to “know it all,” but over time, I’ve learned to embrace the idea that it’s OK not to have all the answers — and to ask for help when I need it.

Challenges can sometimes bring you down, but those experiences have helped me become more resilient. Leading a team has given me a sense of purpose beyond myself. It’s not just about my success, but about lifting others up and helping the team grow together. Personally, as a working mother, Zeta has been very supportive in terms of remote work, helping me balance work and family responsibilities.

What are your professional goals, and how has Zeta Global enabled you to pursue them? What career growth resources/opportunities are available?

From early in my career, I’ve aspired to grow into an architect — designing scalable systems and making key technical decisions. At Zeta, I’ve had the opportunity to work toward that goal, with strong mentorship from senior architects and exposure to cutting-edge projects. I’ve learned enormously by working closely with other talented engineers, architects and senior leaders who inspire me every day.

Zeta actively supports growth through structured online and in-person courses, training and internal mobility across teams and tech stacks for hands-on learning. Throughout my seven years at Zeta, I’ve always felt that growth opportunities and career paths were equally accessible, regardless of gender. I’ve been encouraged to participate in forums and discussions with the same level of support as anyone else. I was also fortunate to be given the opportunity to relocate internationally to work in Silicon Valley.

What advice do you have for women in engineering or other technical roles regarding how to identify a company and team that will support their growth and development?

My advice to women in engineering is to look beyond the job description and pay close attention to how the company values people. Does the team encourage diverse perspectives? Are voices heard and contributions recognized, regardless of gender or title?

A company should promote a strong team culture that encourages collaboration over competition and support individuals when they hit roadblocks. Be open to asking questions during interviews about mentorship, growth paths and team dynamics. In the tech industry, where women are still a minority, being in a supportive environment can make all the difference in helping you thrive in your career.
