Mary Albright, a Senior Content Engineer at digital marketing firm Wpromote, had an unconventional journey into the tech industry. Her interest in technology began with a popular game in the early 2000s, Neopets, where she learned to customize in-game items using HTML. This early exposure to coding sparked her interest in technology and automation. However, her career took a detour into the fashion industry, where she worked as an international high fashion model. In this industry, she faced the challenge of managing data from different agents in Paris, Milan, New York, and London, who all had different formats for sending her bookings and castings.
