Erika Dietrick
I'm here to solve problems for the greater good and to learn whatever it takes to do so. Anyone can learn, and I prefer we do it together. We are all capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for. My career is defined by these pillars:
* Learn cool stuff
* Try new things
* Help others
* Defy expectations
I value kindness, I’m not afraid to stand out, and I prefer to be down-to-earth; though, I know when to be assertive, when not to stand out for standing out’s sake, and when it’s necessary to toot my horn.
I’m proud to be an engineer. I’m a software engineer by training (MS from East Carolina), but I’ve also worked as a network engineer (CCNA, DevNet Associate), a security SME, and a sales engineer across startups and Fortune 500s alike. My tech career was a non-traditional transition from my previous roles as a barista, photographer, + more.
