YOUR FUTURE, YOUR WAY
By sharing their stories, we want to celebrate them and their abilities, but we also want to encourage women in our local communities – and across the world – to pursue a thriving career in technology.
“I’m a Computer Science graduate who discovered a passion for project management early on. My career has taken me from software development into delivery leadership, with roles spanning from Developer, Team Lead, to Project Program Manager. I have worked across Telecoms, Energy, Finance, Consulting, and Pharma, gaining a broad perspective on how tech drives change, and how people and culture make it stick.
A highlight was joining a global career coaching team, which inspired me to earn a Professional Diploma in Coaching & Mentoring in 2023. Supporting others, especially women in tech, is something I am passionate about. After collaborating with Zinkworks as a customer since 2021, I was thrilled to officially join the team in 2025.
Originally from Waterford, I now live in Celbridge, Co Kildare with my husband, daughter, and our tuxedo cat, and outside work I’m hooked on padel tennis and love a good Zumba session.”
“You don’t need all the answers to move forward—just the courage to be curious, to grow, and to believe you belong.”
“ I am the Finance Manager here in Zinkworks, and my career has been quite a journey. I started out in customer services over 15 years ago, gaining invaluable experience in working with people and problem-solving. After a few years living in England, I returned home to Ireland, where I trained in payroll and bookkeeping and completed an Excel course through Springboard. In July 2021, I joined Zinkworks as a Finance Administrator, and I’m now proud to be working towards my Accounts Technician Ireland qualification. I’m fortunate to have an excellent mentor and brilliant colleagues who have supported me every step of the way.
Outside of work, I like to keep life active and interesting—whether that’s going for a run, cooking up something new in the kitchen, or making the most of the outdoors. I love spending time with family and friends, and I’m always on the lookout for my next adventure.”
“ I’m from Brazilian, and currently work as a Junior Java Developer at Zinkworks. But my career didn’t start in tech—I was actually a nurse for many years, working in both Brazil and Ireland. After the pandemic, I felt burnt out and decided it was time for a big change. With support from my family, I enrolled in a Software Development diploma, joined Zinkworks as an apprentice, and now I’m proud to be building my future in tech.
Outside of work, I love painting, reading, exercising, camping, and pretty much anything outdoors. I also enjoy watching series and soap operas (the Brazilian roots run deep!). Creativity and curiosity are a big part of who I am—both in my hobbies and my career.
What I value most in the company is the supportive culture. Coming from a completely different background, I was nervous about the transition, but my team embraced me and helped me grow from day one. I love collaborating, problem-solving, and knowing I’m constantly learning. At Zinkworks, you don’t just “fit in”—you evolve. ”
“Your future doesn’t have to look like your past—you’re never too late to start something new.”
“ With over 15 years of experience in office management, I help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, I’m the go-to person for all things office-related! I manage day-to-day office operations. I have a strong background in administration and team coordination.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring new places, and staying active.
I joined Zinkworks in 2024, and what I enjoy most is the collaborative atmosphere and the strong sense of teamwork and learning. Since joining, I’ve had the opportunity to grow—surrounded by supportive colleagues who are always willing to share knowledge and help each other succeed. It’s exciting to be part of a company that values innovation and continuous development.”
“ I started working with Zinkworks in 2023 as an apprentice software developer and have since completed that apprenticeship and moved into a junior role. I have worked on many different projects covering tasks like backend development, frontend development, documentation, testing and even some public speaking. Outside of work I play rugby with my local team. I have a black belt in Taekwondo and love sports in general. I also like reading and music.
I like the variety of work I’ve experienced with Zinkworks, being able to challenge myself in new areas has been immensely beneficial especially in the beginning stages of my career. It is also great to see women in various roles across the company but especially throughout management and leadership.”
