What do you hope to gain from attending GHC?

I have attended GHC a few times, and each year I was able to meet many amazing and influential people in the tech industry; and I made lots good friends. I am hoping to meet more women in tech this year and learn about their work.  

I also want to attend sessions that talk about work/life balance and career growth.

Why is diversity important to you?

Being an immigrant, I know how it feels to be a minority. It is a lot easier to work with diverse teams, since they have better understanding of minorities. I think having a diverse work environment helps both individuals and companies in becoming more successful. People with different cultural and ethnical background can have different point of view which could lead to creativity and breakthrough ideas.

Why Yahoo?

In the past year, Yahoo has given me the opportunity to grow in my career by participating in trainings and programs that I was interested in.
