Tech, Tenacity & Triumph: ZsaVette Eze’s Real-World College to VP Journey

Описание: In this episode of College & Beyond: Real Talk with Amour, I talk with ZsaVette Eze, a Vice President of Technology who built her career while navigating college, full-time work, and parenting at the same time.

ZsaVette walks through what it actually looked like to finish college while raising a child, dealing with financial instability, and making decisions based on survival—not “passion.” She breaks down how those early choices shaped her entry into tech, how she moved up in the industry, and what most people don’t tell students about career progression in technology.

We cover:

Managing school while working and parenting
Making practical education decisions when time and money are limited
Moving up in tech without coming from a traditional pipeline
What students and parents misunderstand about tech careers and advancement

This episode is for anyone tired of polished success stories and wants an honest conversation about education, work, and building a career under real constraints.
