Corina Serban's journey into technology is a story of resilience, reinvention, and passion. From a career in hairdressing to thriving as a Digital Futures consultant, Corina has shown that with curiosity, courage, and commitment, transformation is always possible.

With no formal technical background but a lifelong fascination with computers, Corina decided to take a leap into tech. The transition wasn't easy - she faced a number of obstacles to break into techm a language barrier, and the challenge of having no prior office experience. What stood out, however, was her determination. Digital Futures recognised her potential, giving her the opportunity to turn her interest into a profession, and she embraced the challenge wholeheartedly.

Since then, Corina has built a diverse and rewarding career across multiple deployments. She began as a front-end engineer, where her creativity left a lasting mark. She then leveraged her business degree and entrepreneurial background to transition into business analysis, where she has flourished by connecting technology with strategy. Now, as a Business Analyst at a global bank, Corina plays a key role in data migration initiatives, combining her technical foundation with her business insight to deliver results with confidence.

What makes Corina's journey remarkable is her adaptability and her commitment to growth. She continuously seeks out new challenges, learns quickly, and supports those around her. Whether through collaboration with peers on client projects or being an active member of the Digital Futures community, she embodies the values of perseverance and shared success.

What grounds Corina's approach is a belief in learning through action:

"We all believe we are not good enough at some point, but you shouldn't be afraid to make mistakes. That's the only way to learn - so just go for it."

Corina's story is a powerful reminder that backgrounds don't define futures. With determination and the right support, anyone can build a meaningful career in technology.
