The College of Applied Science and Technology has released the next episode of the college’s podcast, The PodCAST. It’s a chance to sit down with alumni who are innovative thought leaders in their fields. Looking at their career journeys, guests talk about turning points, roadblocks, and lessons learned on the road to success. Grab some headphones and settle in to hear stories from alumni who have been there, done that, and have tips to share.
This episode features a conversation with Kristin Tucker. Tucker is an alumna of the Department of Information Technology and discusses how she began her career in technology during her time at Illinois State, including early internships that resulted in consulting. She thinks about the importance of self-confidence, what it means to be successful in a male-dominated field, and her philosophy of listening and surrounding oneself with intelligent people. She is the managing principal and co-founder of TDK Technologies, a people-first company that offers clients nationwide software development, project management, and analysis services.
The PodCAST is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Transcripts of each episode are available on the college website.
