Ali Phillips’ journey is a testament to the power of believing in a brighter future. From humble beginnings to founding MedicalMatch, a groundbreaking healthcare staffing platform, Ali has navigated challenges with grit and determination. Her success was fueled by programs like Tech-Moms, which not only provided her with tech skills but also ignited her potential and opened doors to new opportunities. Ali’s story showcases how empowered women, when given the right tools and support, can dream big, lead boldly, and create meaningful change.
You know, being the youngest of seven children, I always felt there was more to life than the challenging circumstances I was born into. Even at the age of seven, I sensed that a better path awaited me. At nine, determined and ready for change, I moved away to be adopted and worked hard to support myself by delivering newspapers. That experience taught me early on about grit, perseverance, and the power of believing in a brighter future.
It laid the foundation for the woman I would become: one who takes on challenges headfirst, driven to make an impact and inspire other incredible women to do the same.
After nearly two decades in healthcare, serving as a Registered Nurse and navigating the complexities of patient care, I knew it was time for a change that could broaden my impact. Enter Tech-Moms—a transformative program that became the bridge from my healthcare expertise to the tech industry I aspired to join. Tech-Moms offered more than just education; it delivered supportive mentorship, practical tech skills, and a community of women equally driven to pivot and excel. With their guidance, I explored coding and other tech roles, ultimately laying the foundation to step into entrepreneurship and make a lasting impact through innovation.
Today, I am the founder of MedicalMatch, a virtual marketplace transforming how healthcare professionals connect with hospitals for real-time shift opportunities. Our platform offers more than just job placements; it empowers lives by enabling healthcare professionals to find work instantly, replacing what once took months within minutes! This innovation makes healthcare staffing agile, effective, and impactful for all parties involved.
Central to our success is our groundbreaking approach to matchmaking, driven by industry-leading algorithms designed by true experts. Our matchmaker—who previously built the algorithms for UBER and Call of Duty—ensures precision, efficiency, and innovation at every level. This expertise allows us to revolutionize the job-seeking and hiring experience in healthcare, providing real-time solutions that improve access, flexibility, and opportunities for professionals and hospitals alike.
None of this would have been possible without the empowering experience I had with Tech-Moms. This program breaks down barriers to entry into tech and supports women holistically, including childcare assistance that made it possible for me as a parent to learn and grow.
"Tech-Moms doesn’t just change careers; it changes lives, giving women the ability to dream bigger and lead bolder."
To every donor and supporter of Tech-Moms: Thank you. Your belief in this program is a belief in women’s potential to change the world. Your generosity fuels dreams and creates opportunities that lead to innovation, transformation, and impact on an unimaginable scale.
As a female founder, I’m driven to create meaningful change, not just in tech and healthcare, but in how people find work, build careers, and provide for their families. My journey from delivering newspapers to leading a tech company demonstrates the power of resilience, innovation, and the right kind of support. With continued backing from programs like Tech-Moms, countless more women will have the chance to break barriers, lead, and transform their lives.
