I had a great interview this week with Ms. Ksenia Luu. She is a data scientist at a company called InVision, which is a product design company much like Sketch, which I mentioned in my last blog. Throughout the interview, I gained a ton of insight into what it means to be a data scientist. Since she works remotely, she is responsible for her own work schedule and projects, so she described to me how being a data scientist has a big emphasis on self-motivation and creativity. This is because often she has to problem solve and work on her own projects. I also learned that her job includes mostly collaboration though, because she is constantly working with both a business team and a software developing team. I found this to be very interesting because that is something I want to do as well. I also received some advice about being a woman in STEM, such as asking certain questions in interviews and being more confident in my own abilities. She also gave me some insight into some more ideas for my original work. After hearing about InVision, I researched more about it later in the week and am considering using it for my original work.
