Hero Digital is happy to feature Belen Corvalan for our Women in Tech series. Belen has been fascinated by technology and communication since childhood. Read her full story below.

As a youngster, I played a video game where any time I lost, the “practice makes the master” message popped up on the screen. When I grew up and started programming, I was able to understand the value of that phrase.
Technology and communication have always fascinated me. As a child, I remember seeing my father working for important American technology companies, and I thought, “One day, I would also like to belong to the technology world.”
Originally starting my studies at a communications-oriented school, I realized that my goal was to contribute to the creation and development of an Internet-centered on user needs.
“Practice makes the master.”
– Patrick Rothfuss
Outside of my career, I love playing ball sports and engaging in team activities. I’m currently a member of a queer soccer team.
From time to time, I find myself facing Imposter Syndrome. To navigate this, I ask my team or lead what I can improve on, and just keep practicing my skills. I also find mutual support in colleagues going through similar situations.
If there is one piece of advice I would give others, it is to believe in yourself, enjoy your journey, and be a team player.
