Hey New Techies,
I'm excited to host our inaugural ADHD and Neurodiverse Community Meetup a few hours from now. 1 in 5 of us are neurodiverse and 1 in 20 have ADD / ADHD causing us daily overwhelm & stress - especially at work.
New Tech is launching this bi-weekly virtual community to create support among our neurodiverse tech colleagues to better manage our challenges and celebrate our strengths and successes. There are still open some seats left in this first virtual session. Reserve your seat now to join us at 12pm to discuss how to manage and beat imposter syndrome. And if you can’t make this one there are two more coming up in March.
I came across this blog you might find interesting. In honor of Black History Month learn about these eight Black leaders that have made a huge impact on the world of tech and beyond.
In case you missed it, New Tech Tacoma is meeting up on March 2nd. It’s been a while since the Tacoma techies have convened, grab your ticket to reconnect. Insiders, don't forget to use your discount code for free registration. Not an insider? Join to grow your network, get free access to New Tech events, and more.
Be well and create joy,
Brett Greene

New Tech Presenter Alumni Spotlight: Maria Petrova, AWS Skills Center Seattle
|
|
|
Each week in the New Tech Newsletter we feature a Spotlight Q&A with founders, angels, New Tech alumni presenters, and other people or companies in our community we believe you’d like to learn about. Reach out if you'd like to recommend a startup, founder, angel, accelerator, or New Tech alumni presenter for us to spotlight for the PNW tech community!
In this week’s spotlight we are going back to the archives to our conversation with Maria Petrova, AWS Skills Center Seattle Lead.
Why do you do what you do for a living?
Being part of AWS for almost seven years, I am constantly learning and growing. The best part of my job is that no day is the same and I have opportunities to innovate, find solutions in meaningful way, and learn new things. As the AWS Skills Center Seattle Lead, I am able to introduce the cloud and cloud computing to anyone in the greater Seattle community. I partner with our training team and to provide foundational skills training to students in-person in Seattle and virtually across the globe. I really enjoy creating new opportunities for people with a desire to learn by engaging local communities through outreach programs. I love being able to share my passion for this growing field with others, and to help them get the skills they need to reskill or upskill in a meaningful way – all for free.
Tell us about the mission behind AWS Skills Center?
The AWS Skills Center launched in November 2021 and it is designed to help people with little or no technology background start their cloud career journey. We believe cloud computing education is one of the most impactful opportunities for professional growth; our mission is to invite new foundational learners to discover, learn, and build with us to pursue their potential in the cloud.
