Forum Series Beyond the Campus: Alumni Stories From Computer Science to the Science of Education

About the Event:

Talin has had the opportunity to study different domains and hold positions both at educational foundations and IT companies. She will talk about her journey, sharing all the ways in which the unexpected becomes expected and discussing the importance of being open to opportunities and the beauty of uncertainty at different points in your academic and career pathways.

Talin will then dive deeper into her current work as an Educational Programs Lead at Paradigma Educational Foundation, focusing on the skills and approaches that have allowed her to switch effectively between different projects and domains and work on domain-specific projects as an education specialist. If you’re interested in thinking about all the different ways your current skills can be used and all the possible avenues still available to you, we will be happy to see you at the talk!

Beyond the Campus: Alumni Stories aims to foster sustained relationships and professional networks among AUA alumni, students, and faculty, as well as help current students explore opportunities and make post-graduation career or further education plans. The forum is free and open to the public.
