Nubank / diversiData
I am one of the few black women I know who is embedded as a data scientist in a senior position at a large financial company like Nubank. In addition to working as a data scientist at Nubank, I also work on initiatives focused on diversity and ethics, such as the development of women within the company and the AI ethics committee. In addition to Nubank, I am a data science and programming teacher at 5 schools, one of which is a postgraduate teacher, participating in the training of hundreds of people. I also have a company (diversiData) of free career mentorships and courses focused on inserting diversity groups into data professions. At diversiData I have mentored hundreds of people in less than a year of the project, in addition to constantly offering free content on social networks and also courses that train different people and help them in their relocation to the job market. As a result of this, we already have more than 30 people relocated to the job market realizing their dream - and much more to come.
