Keesha Dela Peña, a Technical Operations and Data Analyst working out of Manila, Philippines shared what drives her,

“As a woman working in social care, I am deeply inspired by the opportunity to contribute to a cause that supports equality and inclusivity. It is incredibly rewarding to know that my job aligns with my belief that everyone, regardless of gender, age, or circumstance, deserves to take up space and live with dignity and comfort. Additionally, I am motivated by the dedication and authenticity of the people I collaborate with, who share a genuine passion for making a positive impact on the lives of others. The intersection of technology and social care is where I think I can truly make a difference, using my skills in technical operations and data analysis to create and support innovations that empower communities.

Looking ahead, I aspire for this technology and the culture we've built to be brought to my home country, the Philippines, and hope that more people will benefit from the same resources and opportunities.

These are what fuel my commitment to the social care sector - purpose-driven work, supportive teamwork, and the ability to make a tangible difference.”
