Drawing on my extensive technical expertise and commitment to promoting diversity, I frequently speak at conferences or give talks on all topics related to AI/ML. Beyond delivering talks, I am deeply involved in community outreach, particularly in supporting Women in Tech, having served as a Program Co-chair for the Artificial Intelligence Track at the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC). I actively volunteer in multiple roles, including program committee membership and reviewing for top-tier academic and industry conferences, to help shape the future of technology and mentor the next generation of diverse leaders.
