Overcoming fears and imposter syndrome, she embraced the mantra "Have no apprehensions, leap," leading her to propose a talk on "Introduction to APIs" for a community event. Despite initial procrastination and self-doubt, she successfully delivered her first tech talk in December 2018, which ignited a passion for speaking and volunteering at community meetups.
