      Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland Elsie's mission is to empower women in the healthcare system, as specialists and as patients. By listening to each other, we're bettering women's health. For me, that meant listening to the two co-founders Prof. Amy Rigby and Medical Scientist Lily Mazurkiewicz.

The cloud team at Westcoast in Ireland and in the UK were great to work with. My role involved meeting with local SMBs and promoting Azure as a way of hosting their service or building their product. I loved seeing the passion they had for their businesses. Helping them through rapid business innovation workshops at Microsoft Ireland were some of my favourite days working. Here's the rub: As a middle-man, I had no control over the service I was promoting and I ran into several roadblocks with partners who were having issues using Azure to build. I wanted so much to impact their user experience beyond repeatedly handing them over to our technical specialists for a solution. Unfortunately, my passion was at a different point in the process than my role needed it to be. That is why I have now specialised in UX design. Show less

      County Dublin, Ireland I don't see many people include this type of experience on their LinkedIn profiles, let alone provide a description, but I think that many of us started out with a retail or service industry position. Early roles like this one can be quite formative. Working in a kitchen of a busy hotel restaurant was high pressure and hard work, and waiting the floor means keeping cool under that pressure. The customer's experience is paramount after all. I learned a lot fast and The Red Cow Moran Hotel… Show more I don't see many people include this type of experience on their LinkedIn profiles, let alone provide a description, but I think that many of us started out with a retail or service industry position.

I just wish we were all paid more, and that goes for the whole industry. Show less
