I remember it clearly, me in a whole room of men.

As I learnt all things crypto and blockchain, Iโ€™m not going to lieโ€ฆ.

It was often uncomfortable and intimidating.

This happened many times over the years.

I was at one of the biggest events of the year, The Blockchain roadshow. When I met the founder of Blockchain Collective @Nathan Burns who offered me an opportunity to work with their team.

Yep, little meโ€ฆDanielle!

They had just launched the first Advanced Diploma of Applied Blockchain and I decided to go ALL IN!

I didnโ€™t have a technical background or a fancy degree. I was just passionate.

Passionate to change my current situation and take advantage of a new emerging spaceโ€ฆ. More on more stories later in the week.

I decided I was going to build a career in Blockchain and I have never looked back.

- I am the first international student to complete the Diploma and Advanced diploma of Applied Blockchain.

- And the first female to become a fully qualified trainer and assessor in Australia to deliver Applied Blockchain courses.

Last year I founded โ€˜All things Blockchainโ€™ A nonprofit association for decentralized finance with over 1300 members in 12months.

Iโ€™m on a mission to bring more women into this space, so none of us need to feel alone, silly or scared to learn what is our future!

If you are a woman and wish you got started in crypto ages ago but felt too intimidated?

Iโ€™m starting a group on FB where we can all hang out and learn about the exciting opportunities in the Crypto and Blockchain ecosystem together.

Are you coming to join us lovely ladies?
