Becoming the CEO of Your Own Life w/Sanika Doolani

NOMADS welcomes Sanika Doolani for our second episode! We talk about Sanika's' unique journey from India, where you can be an Engineer or a Doctor or...if you're like Sanika, transition into HCI from Computer Science background. By owning her own life--"becoming the CEO of her own life", Sanika discusses how she harnesses her thinking skills to create an optimal balance to work in industry and research and her plans to solve economic inequalities using HCI such as her project, "At Your Service" conceptualized to create employment for daily workers in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. How do you think you can become a "CEO" of your own life?
