I'm Dona. I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for Computer Science since before I officially started my career in 2014. I currently work for Slack (Salesforce) and my past employers include Dropbox, Microsoft, Visa Inc, Cognizant, etc. Outside of work, I am an active volunteer with AnitaB.org. I am the founder and current leader for the Dallas AnitaB local community. I have been involved in various projects creating a supportive space for women in technology to connect, learn, and thrive in the industry. I am also selected as Google Women TechMakers Ambassador. As an international student, I know firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with pursuing higher education in a foreign country. Since then, I have been focusing on mentoring aspiring international students, providing guidance and support to help them achieve their own dreams of higher education.
