Welcome to the ninth episode of Super Good Juice. This week we speak with Kris McMeans, who in her early 30’s, has what many would describe as quite a squiggly career!
Having fallen under the spell of LOTR behind-the-scenes footage, Kris was determined to pursue a career in film. Having achieved this, and facing the loss of her beloved brother, she packed her bags and relocated her life from Texas to Wellington.
Landing herself a sponsored job, Kris found herself in the world of technology, and nearly six years later, she hasn’t really looked back.
We cover a lot in today’s career conversation, from doing what makes you happy, realising that a more traditional 9-5 work life was a pretty appealing concept, her experience as an immigrant in NZ, finding a pathway in the tech space and a whole heap more.
[TW: mental health, suicide]
