#14: Whitney Griffith - Pre-Med Student Turned Software Engineer at Microsoft and Social Entrepreneur


Listen Later

My guest for this episode is Whitney Griffith. Whitney originally had plans to get into medicine, but her path took a different turn in which she discovered Computer Science at Howard University. She was amazed at the problems that can be solved with technology and eventually became obsessed with it. She now works at Microsoft as a Software Engineer in the healthcare sector and is the founder of social entrepreneurial ventures such as Seamless Money and SUPLS. 

In this episode she shares her founder experiences and advice for those looking to grow in tech and as a whole. The key lessons to take away from her story and previous guest stories is that certain opportunities will happen when they are meant to, as much as we think we have set paths for ourselves, we can never really expect the unexpected. We have to take things as they come and react to them in the best ways that we can.
