Technology sparked my STEM journey when I was younger. I was drawn to understanding how software and systems functioned, which led me to pursue technical studies and hands-on learning. Over time, I realized that STEM, particularly technology, wasn’t just an academic interest, it was a powerful vehicle for innovation and impact. Today, that foundation shapes how I approach project leadership and digital transformation initiatives.
Your organization field and mission:
We’re here to make a difference that lasts. That means creating real value for our clients and their organizations, supporting ideas that matter beyond profit, and investing in our people’s growth.
Please tell us briefly about your role in the company / at your organization:
With over 10 years of experience as a Project Leader, I bring comprehensive expertise in managing projects from initiation through delivery and post-go-live support. Based within the Deloitte Digital team in Malta, I oversee multiple development projects across diverse industries including Telecommunications, Insurance, Banking, and both Public and Private sectors. My core competencies encompass strategic planning, resource allocation, team coordination, and fostering collaborative work environments.
My project management methodology centers on strong client collaboration and meticulous execution. I develop comprehensive project plans defining tasks, timelines, and milestones while maintaining regular client engagement through progress updates and prompt issue resolution. My responsibilities include monitoring team performance to ensure deliverables meet agreed standards and deadlines. I have demonstrated success across notable engagements including a Core Management Insurance Platform project and digital marketing initiatives. My approach ensures projects are completed on time while maintaining the high-quality standards expected from Deloitte Digital.
Your interest in STEM
Throughout my career I’ve met various individuals from different sectors of different age which each have inspired me in their own way, both from a career and personal aspect.
Your studies
When I started my MBA I was working full time and hadn’t done such type of studies for over than 6 years so had to learn to find a balance between family, studies and a full time job. COVID hit when I was studying so even though it was challenging it created a unique learning environment.
Given that at that time we were working remotely and having lectures online, it was more stressful and less easy to take a break from the routine as there were restrictions and limitations, however, it is all about navigating complexity with integrity and knowing when to stop and ask for help if needed and maintain the focus on what really matters.
In the past few years, the visibility of strong female figures has increased. Be encouraged by it. My advise would be simple:
1. Find mentors everywhere – seek out for role models but learn from diverse leaders across genders and backgrounds
2. Build your own narrative – create your own success
3. Embrace the learning curve – there is a learning path for everyone
4. Support other women – as you progress, lift others up, the sector grows stronger when we all succeed.
You at work
Deloitte is committed to fostering an inclusive culture where all employees can be their authentic selves and thrive. Embed sustainable practices in GenAI and technology operations.
I’m proud that I approach every project with the mindset that we’re not just delivering software or processes but we’re enabling organisations to serve their stakeholders better. That sense of purpose, combined with technical excellence and human centered leadership, is what drives me and what I’m most proud of.
Your point of view
Economic Independence as it breaks down the traditional barriers. Education and continuous learning as women can learn anything, anytime, anywhere irrespective whether it’s related to code, business skill or leadership. There is no excuse to not having access to education. Visibility and inspiration as when young women see other women succeeding in tech, leading projects and making decisions, they believe that it is possible for them too.
Start now, don’t wait to be ready as you don’t need to be perfect or have all the answers before you begin.
Build you network and find your people.
Set boundaries and protect your well being.
Don’t try to fit into a mold or replicate someone else’s success.
Technology itself should be designed with diverse teams, ensuring products and services work for everyone. Beyond numbers, I want a culture where psychological safety, work-life integration, and continuous learning are standard,not exceptional.
To finish with
I am driven by creating meaningful impact through authentic leadership, where honesty and integrity form the foundation of everything I do, from delivering transformational projects to empowering diverse teams and fostering continuous growth.
As I progress into more senior leadership roles, my challenge will be scaling the impact I create without losing the personal touch and authenticity that define my leadership. It’s easy to become disconnected from teams and clients when managing larger, more complex initiatives. I want to continue leading with integrity and genuine care for people while driving organisational transformation. The challenge is finding that balance, remaining accessible and human while operating at a strategic level.
By 2030, I hope to have evolved from a project delivery expert into a strategic transformation leader who shapes organisational culture and advances diversity in tech. I want greater influence, deeper expertise, and the ability to mentor the next generation. Most importantly, I want my career to reflect my values by creating impact that matters, leading with integrity, and building inclusive organisations.
