Nyah Courtney is a creative professional with a background in marketing, design, and technology. She began her career as a freelance graphic designer before becoming the Marketing Lead at Consult Lemonade, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals break into careers in the tech industry. After meeting the founder during an early résumé workshop, she openly critiqued the organization’s social media presence and was challenged to create a proposal to improve it. Her strategy earned her the role of Marketing Lead, where she led the redesign of the brand’s digital presence and drove significant growth in social media engagement, followers, and strategic partnerships.
Through her experience with Consult Lemonade, she expanded her interests into technology and later transitioned into the IT field with the support of AWS training. She now works as a Data Center Technician, managing server infrastructure, performing hardware maintenance, supporting fiber network repairs, and troubleshooting system issues. Combining creativity with technical expertise, she plans to continue growing in the tech industry to become a Data Analyst.
