01:50- What were some inflection points in your life that shaped you?
- I believe in the power of a story. I am a first-generation college student in my family, and it has made a huge impact on me.
- I also happened to get in touch with my mentor in college, and she has been a guide for me letting me see the potential in myself even when I couldn’t see it myself.
- The third inflection point would be when I became a mother. I came to know that being a mother was much more meaningful to me than the work that I was doing.
13:56- How has your career progressed?
- I was not a straight-A student and my undergraduate major was psychology and I had no idea what to do with it.

- We don’t know exactly how we are going to do that but there have been several conversations among us in the past few months about using AI.
- One of the opportunities of AI is that it can help us make more objective decisions.
- One example of the usage of AI would be to review the numerous policies that have to be reviewed by employees right now.
