 Talia Tron attended her first WiDS conference in Israel after hearing about it during a job interview with Intuit. Her experience at this conference sealed her decision to join Intuit and introduced her to a dynamic and growing community of talented female data scientists. She is now a senior data scientist and researcher leading Intuit’s work on explainable AI as part of the Intuit AI Technology Futures team and leader of Intuit’s Innovation Catalyst community in Israel.
 Sarah Rice, a senior information architect, is thrilled with how WiDS provides role models and inspiration for young women entering the field of data science. While she personally had an early aptitude for math, her early college environment did not encourage women to pursue math and computer science. Instead she studied social sciences and went on to earn her Master’s degree in Library and Information Sciences. She now combines those two disciplines in her consulting work in user experience design.
