Holly Lampert and Emma Harrison, both from Dunelm, share their unique journeys into the tech world—one coming through a traditional Computer Science degree, the other taking the leap into tech via a career change with the support of CodeFirstGirls. 

In this episode, they dive into what it’s like to break into tech through different paths, the challenges they faced, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Having worked together on the same team, they also reflect on collaboration, team dynamics, and how diverse backgrounds can bring fresh perspectives to tech projects. 

Whether you’re considering a career pivot or just curious about life in tech, Holly and Emma show that there’s no single path to success—and that thriving in tech is possible no matter where you start.
