GoodRx Inclusion & Diversity

Describe your experience as a woman in tech. What are some of the challenges you’ve faced, and how have you overcome them?

My journey has been a mix of growth and challenges. In a field traditionally dominated by men, I’ve faced obstacles like biases and stereotypes and a lack of female representation in senior roles. Early on in my career, I often felt my ideas were overlooked in meetings, which pushed me to assert myself more and strive for the recognition I deserved.

To overcome these challenges, I focused on developing my technical skills and seizing opportunities for visibility, such as leading key projects. Building strong relationships within my team and seeking mentorship from inspiring leaders have empowered me to advocate for my ideas effectively. I’m fortunate to work for a company that actively supports women in tech by creating an environment that nurtures our growth. Working for an inclusive company that empowers women’s voices is key.

While the scarcity of women in senior roles can be discouraging, it motivates me to be a role model for others. Engaging with fellow women in tech and participating in mentorship programs has provided invaluable support. I encourage women in tech to prioritize these connections; they’re essential for navigating challenges and driving meaningful change.

What are your professional goals, and how has your current company enabled you to pursue them? 

My professional goals are focused on taking on strategic leadership roles where I can shape product vision, mentor the next generation of women in tech and create products that genuinely help people and make the world a better place.

GoodRx has been instrumental in helping me achieve these goals. The company really prioritizes continuous learning and professional development, offering us an annual budget for outside learning opportunities. This support has enabled me to take courses and access resources that allow me to sharpen my skills while connecting me with a fantastic network of inspiring women in tech.

I’ve led high-profile projects and built products that truly make a difference in our customers’ lives. I’ve been given the opportunity to manage and mentor other product managers to help them become exceptional leaders themselves. 

Additionally, the guidance I’ve received from other senior female leaders at GoodRx has been invaluable, empowering me to confidently advocate for my ideas and drive impactful projects. I really appreciate how GoodRx values diverse perspectives and creates an inclusive environment that aligns with my vision of developing meaningful products.

How does GoodRx celebrate and empower women?

GoodRx truly values and is dedicated to celebrating and empowering women. One of the most exciting ways we do this is through our women’s community resource group, which is all about building a supportive and inclusive community for women across the organization.

One of my absolute favorite highlights of the year is our International Women’s Day award ceremony. It’s such a special event where we get to highlight and honor the incredible women who make a real difference at GoodRx. Watching colleagues cheer each other on, nominate one another, and then celebrate these incredible achievements in front of the entire company is really inspiring.

Beyond these celebrations, GoodRx is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for women by prioritizing their involvement in high-visibility projects and leadership roles. It’s a great company to work for.
