I joined the data science field 7 years ago after spending my early career working with environmental nonprofits. Since my passion for volunteering still needs an outlet, I leapt at the opportunity to get involved with Data Circles and the Women in Data Science Puget Sound conference. After DS boot camp and a year of consulting, I joined the small, but mighty team of data scientists at Trupanion. My dog greatly appreciates his insurance benefits. Excited to experience another year of knowledge sharing with WiDS!

Hi everyone! I am a Analytics Consultant at Calligo. I moved to Seattle to complete a MS in Data Science, fell in love with PNW and decided to stay! This will be my 2nd year volunteering with WiDS. I am a big proponent of community and am grateful to be a part of the WiDS community. Being around so many great people in this field is really motivating, and I’m constantly learning. Outside of work I love to cook, do yoga, read mystery novels, and take my dog for hikes.

Hi! I’m Yuqi Zhang, a Data Scientist at Amazon based in the Seattle area. I focus on using data and modeling to improve supply chain decisions and customer experience. I grew up in China and earned my M.S. in Statistics from UIUC before moving to Seattle for work.
Outside of work, I love staying active — especially playing soccer. I play regularly and organize beginner-friendly soccer training and pick-up games for women, which has become another way I enjoy building community. I love the community-driven spirit of WiDS, am grateful to be part of it, and am excited to build and learn together!
