I'm a 25-year-old software engineer from California. I grew up in a big family with three siblings and parents who encouraged me to pursue my passion for technology and coding. My mom was an avid reader of romance novels and would often read me stories about strong, independent women who fought against all odds to achieve their dreams. These stories inspired me to become a woman in tech and make a name for myself in the industry.

In college, I worked as a research assistant at Stanford University where I collaborated with my professors on various projects related to machine learning and data science. It was during this time that I realized my true passion lay in creating AI systems that could assist humans in making informed decisions based on complex data sets.

After completing my PhD, I landed a job at Google, working as an engineer on the Google Assistant team. My work has taken me all around the world, from Tokyo to Paris, and I've had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most brilliant minds in the industry. But despite all the accolades, I know that there's still so much more for me to achieve.

My goal is to use my platform to empower women and underrepresented groups to pursue careers in technology and AI. By sharing my story and experiences, I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams, even if it means taking a path less traveled.

I've always been fascinated by the intersection of art and science, so when I'm not working on my next project or writing code all day,
