Personal Reflection

I am passionate about this career field as I am always looking to increase my skills and develop new ones as well as participate in professional development and networking events for the industry. I don't just aspire to become a thriving Machine Learning Engineer or Data Scientist, but I also thrive to become someone who makes an impact on the world through hard work.

I hope to one day make a reality-warping breakthrough in the world and contribute to scientific discoveries. My professional values of achieving results through hard work make me competent, as I know that real industry work and college experiences are very different, but I am willing to learn.

I understand and acknowledge that when I obtain a job in the industry, I might need to learn several skills on my own, and I am excited about that challenge.
