THE BOARD
Supporting members chose the board in November elections every other year.
President
As a host for the virtual group, I have become familiar with the organization's leaders, members, and goals. I am pleased to expand my role and responsibilities beyond hosting and officially add to DSS's future success as a member of the board. I believe in the mission of DSS and would like to be a part of its growth and success in helping women further their knowledge in data.
As part of the DSS Board, I want to continue expanding the group's footprint internationally and partner with universities for speakers and Hackathon projects. I love to see people come together to approach social justice problems through data.
Data allows us to see a situation from different perspectives, to me that is very much the strength that diversity of thought brings to team work and problem solving. Thus far my efforts to expand our DSS engagement, have been focused on Latin America (Costa Rica and Ecuador). We hope to continue expanding to other continents and countries in 2023. If you would like to partner on these endeavors please feel free to reach out.
Treasurer
I am on the board so that I can help further our mission to educate and support one another towards competency, success, and leadership in and around data science. I'm passionate about helping women rise through the ranks as people leaders, thought leaders, and subject matter experts in traditionally male spaces. I believe strongly that diversity is key to the success of teams and organizations because great ideas and products are born from collaborations involving a variety of experiences, perspectives, backgrounds, and personalities. Diversity of thought is especially important in Data Science, where our personal biases become baked into machine learning models that can make life-changing decisions
