“If you’d asked Angela F. as a college student if she thought she’d one day work on groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) projects, her answer would have been a resounding “‘”no.”
“I was pre-med because I was passionate about helping people,” she says. “I didn’t switch to consider a career in tech until the latter half of college.”
But once she discovered data science, Angela was hooked. She pivoted immediately and began pursuing a future in tech. Her first stop? Meta, where she participated in the Meta Immersion Program, which teaches people without a data science background to code… Today, Angela—who recently relocated from Meta’s Paris office to New York—is doing just that as a research scientist at Meta. Her work focuses on generative AI and large language models (LLMs), and she also collaborates closely with the machine learning and product teams.
Here, Angela shares the most meaningful AI project she’s worked on, how Meta’s culture inspires her to be her true self, and the one skill that has helped her succeed.”
