Embarking on a Networking Odyssey: Introducing Your Networking Girl

Hello world! I’m Carla, and I’m stoked to launch my new blog, yournetworkgirl. As a 28-year-old network engineer from the Garden State, I’m into more than just routers and switches—I love photography, hitting the gym, and gaming. But my real passion? Excelling in my field, which is why I’m studying for my Cisco CCNA certification.

Now, let’s rewind a bit. As I cracked open those CCNA textbooks, it hit me: where are all the women in this field? A scroll through LinkedIn confirmed my suspicion—there’s a serious lack of female representation in network engineering. And that’s where yournetworkgirl comes in.

This blog isn’t just about me—it’s about empowering women interested in engineering, whether they’re in school, starting their careers, or considering a switch. It’s a space to learn, share experiences, and support each other.

So, what can you expect? Everything from the stories that led me here to behind-the-scenes looks at my day-to-day in the industry. Plus, yournetworkgirl is your go-to for all things CCNA-related. Whether you’re just starting or knee-deep in configuration nightmares, I’ve got tips, tricks, and encouragement to help you conquer the certification exam and advance in your career.

But wait, there’s more! yournetworkgirl is also a community hub where women can connect, share advice, ask questions, and celebrate each other’s wins. So, buckle up! yournetworkgirl is here to guide you through the world of network engineering, one subnet at a time. Welcome aboard! 🚀
