The Career Series

Real stories from women in security, policy, development, and tech - written for the next generation.

The Career Series is our ongoing collection of practitioner profiles. Each piece is written in plain language, meant for students ages 12-18 who are curious about tech but have never themselves reflected in it.

We ask contributors one simple question: What does your day actually look like?

  • Maya Torres

    Security Engineer, Palo Alto Networks

    “Most of my day isn’t hacking anything. It’s reading logs, writing documentation, and a lot of Slack messages about weird traffic patterns.”

  • Dr. Priya Nair

    Privacy Policy Lead, Google

    “Policy work is where law meets technology meets human behavior. I spend a lot of time translating between those three languages.”

Spring 2027 cohort is open.

We’re actively recruiting practitioners in cybersecurity, privacy law, and tech policy for our next round of profiles.

Coming Spring 2027
