In this week’s #DataTalk​, we chat with Serena King, Software Engineer at Altair, about the importance of diversity in the STEM field, ways companies can create an inclusive environment for employees, and what it is like being a Black woman in the field. Serena also discusses the importance of mentoring people of color and fostering those mentorship relationships.

Serena has worked for Altair for 5 years and graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Oakland University. She was also honored as a finalist for the WomenTech Global Awards.
