Sydney Bramen may only be 17, yet she already juggles an impressive list of activities as an accomplished high school senior, including competing as a squash player for Georgetown University next year. Yet she still finds time to provide tutoring services through SquashSmarts and OurVillage in Philadelphia while studying data science – something which she hopes will enable her to address disparities in educational access.
She’s one of the youngest speakers at this month’s Women in Data Science (WiDS) @ Penn virtual conference, held February 9 and 10 and featuring academic, student and industry speakers from different areas of data science. WiDS conferences welcome people of all genders while celebrating diversity both within subject matter as well as personnel within data science fields.
