I’m a firm believer that staying ahead in data science and AI means constantly learning, exploring, and connecting with others in the field. That’s why I’m a regular at some of the most inspiring conferences and events in tech.
You’ll often find me at ODSC East, where I’ve been volunteering and attending every year since 2022, engaging with industry leaders and diving into the latest advancements. Through my involvement with MIT Technology Review conferences, Google Cloud Next, Data Science Salon events, Harvard Data Science Initiative events, Harvard WECode, and many more. I’ve gained hands-on insights into emerging trends like AI ethics, generative models, and the cutting-edge tools shaping the industry.
I also take every opportunity to deepen my technical knowledge, like enrolling in MIT’s 6.S191: Introduction to Deep Learning, a premier course that provides hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art techniques and applications in deep learning.
But for me, it’s not just about attending—it’s about being part of the conversation. As a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring others, driving meaningful initiatives, and creating spaces where people can learn, grow, and connect.
These experiences go beyond professional development—they’re opportunities to stay curious, inspired, and always at the forefront of what’s next in AI and data science.
