PUBLIC SPEAKER AND SOFTWARE ENGINEER


ABOUT ANNIE

I’m a public speaker and software engineer based in Auckland, New Zealand.

While completing my law degree, I was drawn to the exciting, creative and innovative world of tech. I taught myself to code and landed a graduate job at Xero with no formal software engineering education. (Check out the Career Resources section for how to do this yourself!)

Over the past few years, I've discovered a love for speaking through sharing my story and inspiring others with new ideas.
