WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
My blockchain journey started 3 years ago when a friend made a ton of money using crypto. I got curios to understand this revolutionary technology. More at link below: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/priyaguliani_blockchain-technologyforgood-empoweringuk4-activity-6678591443906371584-mfLW
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
As a young girl I was fascinated by technology but scared of coding and thought if you want to be in the field of technology then you can't escape coding. Technology Industry has so much more to offer and knowing and realising that can takeaway a lot of inhibitions wrt subject and career choices.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
I am passionate about inclusion, sustainability and climate impact and firmly believe in the power of technology to change human lives. I wake up wishing that all humanbeings individually, and collectively embrace the doughnut model which focuses on the balance between Nature’s ceiling of tolerance and the floor of a decent living and fairness for all human beings
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
Look around yourself and see how technology has evolved over the years changing human lives. Take cues from your surroundings, be curious, always ask questions. Life is an ever-learning journey, make sure you never stop learning.
