Audio Description Narrator:

My name is Jen Mendez. I’m a director of engineering for mobile. I joined Realtor because of the mobile transformation that Realtor is doing right now. It is very refreshing when I join meetings, and I am surrounded by all the powerful women in the room and feel like I’m not alone, that we can talk about a problem and solve it together. The Women in Tech group, we are meeting monthly, and it’s all women that are part of the engineering team. We are gathering us to be able to create support with each other, to be able to think about mentoring and sponsoring, coaching, how can we help each other through our journeys and our careers. Everything that we need to do in order to grow is just creating that peer support. Women in Tech is a venue for us to be able to connect and be vulnerable. We can admire other leaders in the organization that are women and see their power and their experience, and how they communicate and also how humble and empathetic they are at the same time. I think the balance of being human and being a leader and being in engineering with our logical analytical minds is just a really sweet balance that I’m seeing in the women that work here at Realtor.
