Edita

Edita‘s career transformation from office administrator to IT tester is a story of courage, growth, and the power of a supportive work environment. After years in administration at ESO and GSC, she decided to pursue her passion for technology. 

The turning point came with the Women Go Tech program, which offered mentorship, career guidance, and a community that helped Edita transition into the IT world with confidence. "I knew I wanted to change careers, but I needed guidance and support. Women Go Tech and my employer’s encouragement made all the difference," says Edita. 

Her previous experience at ESO and GSC gave her key soft skills—emotional intelligence and strong communication—that proved invaluable in her new role. “My employer played a huge role in my success by creating an environment that fostered learning and career development. I was always encouraged to grow,” she reflects. 

Edita’s journey wasn’t without its challenges, but with her colleagues and the Women Go Tech community backing her, she found the strength to push through. "The support I received from my employer made a significant impact. It’s not just about the job itself, but the people and culture that help you succeed." 

Her advice for others? "Be brave, embrace challenges, and don’t be afraid to ask for help from your employer. Their support can open doors to new possibilities."
