Daniella Edokpolor
Think legally blonde, but technically blonde! I’m a commercial analyst as well as a tech and beauty content creator with a bit of ADHD on the side on a mission to revamp the status quo. I am here to provide opportunities for people who are from marginalised groups to become trailblazers in the tech space. I have had the chance to work with amazing companies such as Charlotte Tilbury, SheCodes,AICore, Acer, ITV and Channel 4 and mentored 3 girls over the past 6 months with the goal of landing them they’re dream job in tech.'

My deep understanding of the tech landscape and the unique challenges ADHD presents, allows me to guide talented women, trans and non-binary people like you in navigating your career.
Learning tips and tricks to manage ADHD is only one part of the solution. My program takes a holistic view of you. Not as a collection of ADHD symptoms, but as a whole human who is trying your best. But lacks the strategies to harness the unique strengths associated with your neurodiversity.
