This is me at Deloitte University (located in Texas) for the Management Leadership for Tomorrow Summer Seminar. I had the opportunity to connect with other third-year students from around the country who are STEM and Business majors.

Tasha was one of my past mentors from Inspiring Girls Now in Technology Evolution (IGNITE). IGNITE is a Seattle-based organization that encourages girls and gender-diverse students to explore and pursue STEM fields. I've actually been a part of IGNITE since my freshman year of high school!
