"Dina Ceri studied psychology at university. She never considered a technology-
or science-based career as she felt she wasn’t good at subjects like math and
chemistry. After graduating in 2010, Ceri pursued a career in the education
sector. She was initially successful, but soon grew disillusioned.
“I hit a ceiling. The further you get in that sector, it seems, the further you
are from the people you’re having a meaningful or impactful relationship with,
so I wasn’t interested in continuing in that direction,” says Ceri, who is
based in Chisinau, Moldova.
Ceri happened to have a friend who was a mentor for Tech Women Moldova, a
program set up to support women in joining the information and communication
technology (ICT) sector. Ceri’s friend convinced her she’d be a great fit and
would get a lot out of it, so she applied for and completed its three-month
project management mentorship program in 2021.
She and two other women were partnered with a project manager at Orange
Moldova, one of the country’s biggest telecommunication companies. They learned
in-depth about the workings of the industry, from basic technical terminology
to what software development and DevOps teams do and how they interact with
each other. As a result, Ceri was then able to secure an internship, then a
full-time role, at IT company Endava. So began a new, exciting chapter of her
career."
