About

Hi, I'm Sharone.

I'm a first-generation tech professional who figured it out the hard way, so you don't have to.

My path

  1. HR / IT
  2. Project Manager
  3. Cybersecurity student
  4. Sharing it all

Nobody handed me a map.

I started out in HR and IT, learning how hiring really works from the other side of the desk. From there I moved into project management, and today I'm studying cybersecurity. Every step, I had to figure out the rules on my own: what to say, what to learn, and who to ask.

Along the way I noticed something. The people who got ahead weren't always the smartest. They just had someone who told them how it works. That information exists. It just gets kept behind a gate.

So I started Don't Gatekeep Me, a place where I share it all.

Job search strategy, workplace vocabulary, the tools that actually get used, scholarships, and even how to cook on a student budget. If I learned it, you get it too.
