I am an Emmy Award-winning Senior Digital Producer at WGBH Educational Foundation. I lead the development of digital games and experiences for children’s educational properties, including PBS KIDS’s Design Squad and Plum Landing.
pronouns: she/her/hersSuzi Dao
I am a full-stack web developer at CoUrbanize. I’m an avid knitter, a thirsty craft beer enthusiast, and a massive board game nerd. When I play RPGs, my alignment is Chaotic Good and there’s a 90% chance I’ll go rogue. Aside from work and SGO+ events, you can find me yelling about things on Twitter, and teaching games at PAX East as an Enforcer. This is not my chicken.
pronouns: she/her/hersKelly McStay
I am a software product manager with experience in both consumer and enterprise products. I credit She+ Geeks Out with helping build my confidence while transitioning into a career in product management — and as a California native, for introducing me to a group of truly inspiring women in Boston. Talk to me about awesome software (and hair) products, travel bucket lists, and all things West Coast/Best Coast at an SGO event.
pronouns: she/her/hersZoe Silverman
My interests include dogs, Beyoncé, and playing with dogs while listening to Beyoncé. I’ve been in the Boston tech scene since 2010, currently leading Yesware’s People Operations. Before entering the real world, I graduated from the University of Richmond with degrees in Leadership Studies and Sociology and a concentration in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. That was where I first started getting involved in diversity and inclusion efforts, and I’m thrilled to continue that mission through this partnership with SGO.
pronouns: she/her/hersAlyssa Silverston
I have a cat named Gizmo, my favorite DC super hero is Batman and Marvel is Captain Marvel. I bring Liberty Mutual to companies throughout Boston, is your company next?
