Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kamili
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say just staying on task with everything, and well, I'm also a religious person, so... really just stay on track with what I need to do. I make sure I have my to-do list, and I get it done by the time it needs to get done.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I'd say just take the leap, just try it. I actually did not initially start off completely in computer science. I was a psychology major, actually... Taken a computer science class... So, wow, this has the opportunity to merge logic and reasoning... with impact on actual people... I switched my major... I haven't looked back ever since.
