On this episode of Humanizing Tech, we’re joined by Bess Campbell, Solutions Engineer at Actable.

After many years in the service industry, Bess decided she was ready to pivot careers and went back to school to become a computer programmer. To her advantage, the service industry taught her all about working with people under pressure - how to be a team player, a keen attention to detail, and the ability to create elegant, efficient systems.

In her Solutions Engineer role, she helps her clients route and transform data, engage with different marketing technologies, and contribute to projects utilizing Airflow, GCP, and Python.

PDXWIT events and programming and most importantly, the #InvestingInYou Scholarship were the springboard to her success. Listen for practical ways to pivot your career with PDXWIT.
