Amanda Reid Opens Doors in Tech Through Mentorship, Access, and Opportunity for International Women’s Month

Amanda Reid is a cybersecurity professional, entrepreneur, and mother of two who has built her career on one core belief: technology should be accessible to everyone. With more than 12 years of experience protecting critical systems for the U.S. government and major companies, her work in cybersecurity is both impactful and essential—but her true passion lies in helping others find their place within the tech industry.

Through her companies, WomanTech IT Consulting Group and AchieveIT, Reid has dedicated herself to mentoring and training professionals and students—especially women and career changers—who once believed a career in technology was out of reach. Her approach combines technical expertise with real-world guidance, helping individuals build confidence and develop the skills needed to succeed in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

Reid’s journey is rooted in resilience and determination. As a mother balancing family life while building businesses from the ground up, she brings authenticity, faith, and integrity into everything she does. Her commitment to giving back has made her a trusted resource for those looking to transition into tech or advance their careers.

Through the AchieveIT Pathways Program, she continues to create structured opportunities for learning, growth, and career placement—bridging the gap between ambition and access in the tech space.

As part of The DMV Daily’s International Women’s Month spotlight, Amanda Reid stands out as a nominee whose work is transforming lives by making technology more inclusive, approachable, and attainable for all.
