I Am Technical Enough with Octavia Howell

In this episode, Cassi-Ann Hutchinson interviews Octavia Howell, for part 2 of their discussion that began in episode 7. Cassi-Ann, a math graduate from the University of Waterloo and a security strategy analyst at Sunlife, and Octavia, an experienced security leader and the founder and CEO of Augustus Redefined, are both passionate advocates for women in the tech industry.

Cassi-Ann believes that women often internalize the belief that they are not technical enough for certain technology roles, a self-doubt that she works to dispel by encouraging women to recognize their own skills and aptitudes. Similarly, Octavia emphasizes the importance of women recognizing their own analytical and problem-solving abilities, and criticizes the outdated notion that women do not belong in the tech industry.

Listen through this episode, as both Cassi-Ann and Octavia share how they are dedicated to challenging stereotypes and advocating for women in the tech industry, using their experiences and backgrounds to help others realize their potential.
