September 2018:
I was awarded the Tapia Student Scholarship to attend Tapia 2018 and the Grace Hopper Celebration 2018 Student Scholarship. My GHC scholarship came from ServiceNow.
Attending the diversity conferences gave me the opportunity to interact with students, faculty and industry members from a range of colleges, backgrounds, and communities.
I presented at the poster sessions during GHC and Tapia. I also led a Birds of Feather discussion at Tapia on “Social Responsibility and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence and Extended Reality”.
I was also a part of a panel during GHC on social responsibility and ethics with some of my favorite people – Amanda Casari, Kathy Pham, Hallie Benjamin and Sarah Hubbard.
I also got to meet some incredible people during the events!
