Let’s be honest, how many times have we heard someone say, “I want to switch into tech, but I don’t have any experience”? Probably more times than we can count! It’s one of the most common fears holding people back from taking that bold step into a career that could literally change their lives. But then, along comes Daisy Marie, a woman who decided to stop overthinking and start doing. And now? Daisy just landed a Business Analyst role at Turnkey Africa, a multinational tech company headquartered in Kenya, with offices across the continent, all while based in Ghana and working remotely. Yes, you read that right. From Ghana to Kenya, all thanks to her determination and a little help from Heels and Tech.

How It All Started

Daisy’s journey into tech didn’t begin with years of coding or a background in software development. She was simply curious. Like many women, she had reached that point where she wanted more, more growth, more opportunity, and most importantly, a career that could open international doors. When she first reached out to Heels and Tech, Daisy wasn’t even sure which path to choose. 

“I’m torn between the Business Analysis course and the Product Management course,” she said, 

Daisy was completely honest and open about her confusion. And can we just pause to appreciate that moment of realness? Because so many people feel the same way when they first hear about tech careers. Terms like Business Analysis, Product Management, Scrum, and Data Analytics can sound intimidating, but Daisy did what confident learners do: she asked questions, she researched, and she trusted the process. What stood out most was her drive.

“I have no prior tech experience,” she admitted. “But I’m very keen on switching into the tech field to be able to land tech jobs, preferably international or sponsorship jobs.” 

That statement right there? It’s the dream for many women across Africa, to gain in-demand skills that open them up to global opportunities. And that’s exactly what Heels and Tech was created for.

Choosing Heels and Tech

When Daisy eventually decided to enroll in the Business Analysis course (April 2024 cohort), she wasn’t just signing up for another online class. She was saying yes to herself, to growth, transformation, and a career pivot that would soon take her across borders. The beauty of Heels and Tech is that it simplifies the complex.

She wasn’t just learning theories, she was connecting the dots, understanding how businesses operate, and seeing how technology drives results. Her consistency was admirable. Even when life got busy, Daisy stayed engaged.

 “Yes, I do attend both classes and scrum meetings,” she told the Heels and Tech team one evening. “It’s been very good. I have learnt a lot.”

That commitment, showing up, asking questions, and revisiting class recordings was the quiet determination that would soon set her apart.

The Big Win: A Business Analyst Role at Turnkey Africa

Fast-forward a few months, and Daisy’s dedication began to pay off in the best way possible.She sent a simple but powerful message:

“Please, I just landed a Business Analyst role and I was wondering if I could get a reference or recommendation letter from Heels and Tech. I was part of the BA April June 2024 cohort.”
