\\u201cThe thing about becoming a Tech Influencer is, content is Queen and consistency, quality and value matter. That\\u2019s the trifecta of creating content that sticks."

\\n

In this episode, I had a fun conversation with Stephanie Wong, a Developer Advocate from Google Cloud. Stephanie is well known for her online developer contents ranging from YouTube videos, podcast and blog posts. She also hosts her own YouTube channel called \\u201cSteph You Should Know\\u201d where she talks about career, tech and productivity tips. Stephanie shared her story on how she started in technology even without technology education background and what led her to her current role. She also shared great tips on public speaking, storytelling, building a personal brand, and CV writing. She also gave her view on how to empower women to thrive in technology and dealing with imposter syndrome.
