Are you unapologetically owning who you are? In today’s episode of Ellas, Stephanie Aceves is a proud Latina, who has made it her personal mission to help minorities to be unapologetically themselves in tech. She has been able to grow her mission by awarding an annual scholarship to Latinas who are pursuing an education in STEM for the last 5 years in an effort to pay forward the support she’s received over the years.
Stephanie is a Director Technical Account Management at Tanium where she is a cybersecurity subject matter expert and is presently focused on building out Tanium’s presence in Latina America. Her impressive background doesn’t end there, prior to Tanium, she was part of EY’s Cyber Threat Management, both on the Incident Response and Red Team/Vulnerability Identification teams.
Stephanie is a Latina who proudly rejects the negative narrative of “The Only Latina in…”. In this inspiring conversation we go deep on this idea and how it perpetuates even more barriers for Latinas to stay and succeed in more spaces.
We also share the solution of not furthering this barrier, by truly embracing yourself and how Stephanie was able to accomplish this feat through her recent YouTube channel, La Reina del Cyber. A space that is also on her Instagram where she informs and empowers Latinxs who are interested in digital forensics, ethical hacking, incident response, and so many more.
This phenomenal conversation also covers the power that you have to establish authentic connections with others, being open to evolving your career goals, and how Stephanie almost dropped her major twice!
Let’s begin to take action by embracing ourselves, listen to this empowering conversation to discover how Stephanie was able to accomplish this and discover actionable steps to help our Latinx communities grow in STEM and in every industry!
