about
i am employed as a data scientist at the data science lab. my focus is primarily on the healthcare sector, where i develop ai models to aid doctors in making informed decisions by predicting relevant information. what i find particularly fulfilling about my job is being able to demonstrate the power of data, and how it can make us smarter. collaborating with healthcare professionals, we strive to make the healthcare system more accessible, cost-effective, and efficient. i strongly believe in the importance of making a positive impact on the world through one’s profession!
why do you think it is important that role models need to be visible?
visibility of female role models helps to challenge gender stereotypes and traditional gender roles. when women and girls see other women succeeding in fields that are typically male-dominated or pursuing non-traditional paths, it can challenge their own beliefs about what is possible for them to achieve!
