Tijana Ellis

What did you study (at school, college or university)?
Electrical engineering

How did you get into technology?
I will always remember how excited I was when my dad’s father, who was a software engineer, gave me his old PC. I was 13 at the time and I kept waking during the night, just to make sure it was still on my desk. :)

What company do you work for?
Network Rail

What do you do at your current company?
Senior Solutions Consultant

What advice would you give to girls looking to get into a tech related career?
I have always found technology a fascinating field, enabling our lives and developing at an amazingly fast pace. And no matter how many times you hear “why would you study/work in that field, you are a girl?”, just bear in mind, it really isn’t about gender, but your passion and interest in technology!
