JEDI Corner
Fund Set Up to Kick-Start Community for Underrepresented People in Statistics, published Jul 1, 2023
I am lucky to have my dream job working in the department of statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles. My mom worked at UCLA as a librarian for 40 years; I grew up on this campus, and it has always felt like home. I love what I do, and I have a department of faculty, staff, alumni, and students who make me feel like I belong every single day. However, there’s a phrase that has come back to me many times over the last few years--This moment is not about me. Though I feel safe in my current position, I have been in other STEM environments in which I did not feel welcome for reasons completely unrelated to my intelligence or competence in the field. I felt invisible and marginalized—a second-class citizen.
