Into the Gaming Industry

It is the 1st of November, 2024. I am sitting in the dining area of my home, laptop open in front of me, preparing for what could be a pivotal moment in my professional journey: my interview with Microsoft.

Four Weeks at Microsoft

If you’re reading this, it means I’ve officially been at Microsoft for precisely one month. It may also mean that it is late at night, and I am deep in a PowerBI dashboard, or working on my midpoint Connect, but I will spare you the gory details.

Visibility

At the end of May, 2025, I was awarded the Most Inspiring Female Corporate Leader in Malawi. A huge honor. As I received the award, what I felt most was less pride, and more reflection. Reflection on what it has taken to become visible in a world that often demands excellence from women but offers very little space for us to shine on our terms.
