Fit for People, Fit for Purpose: Designing Tech that Matters

I didn't intend to pursue computer science. I was a midwife, focused on women-centered care in our private practice--my third career after trying social work and nursing. I only went to the faculty dean to discuss how I might focus my part-time science degree if I were to go full-time. I left his office as part of the first cohort in the new Information Technology (IT) program at the University of Queensland, and I finished my degree with a university medal. My motivation was not love of technology.
