Here are some things I’d like to accomplish by the end of 2019.

A lot of these are already planned but some are stretch goals!

Let’s see what happens – but I’ll remind myself in Todoist to look at this post come December 8th, 2019.

1. Become a senior software engineer
2. Start a podcast (#TechQueens)
3. Read 30+ books
4. Talk about technology or my career at 15+ events (conferences/Meetups/podcasts/etc.)
5. Travel to Hawaii and another place I’ve never been (preferably outside the US)
6. Write 5+ articles that get published outside of my personal website (Medium publication, external blog, etc.)

These are more long-term or broad goals.

1. Be loved and love others 😊
2. Give a TED talk
3. Write a book
4. Become a leader at a tech company (VP Eng, Chief Architect, CTO, CEO, etc.)
5. Be on the radio
6. Donate or raise $10K for charity
7. Be involved in the production of a movie I’d actually watch and enjoy
8. Record a song
9. Live in Peru for 6+ months
10. Have the ability to retire earlier but then decide not to because I’d probably get bored
11. Be known as an industry wide expert in something
12. Attend a masquerade ball
13. Own a doggo
14. Try out being a teacher
15. Lead by example and influence a generation of minority women to break into and succeed in tech
