I completed my master's in computer science back in India at Pune University, graduating in 2002. That was the first time I got introduced to the IT industry in the late 90s and early 2000s, and it got me very excited to learn about everything. After having my daughter, I took a career break for nine years before restarting my career in 2017 back in the U.S. I joined ST Microelectronics three and a half years ago - I actually accidentally landed this role, and when I joined, I didn't even know that my company had their own chip. Now I see that my company's chip is in all the products around us that we use, like smartphones, and I'm very proud to be a part of this organization that is part of everyone's lives. In my current role as Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, I manage hiring for Region Americas, primarily focusing on semiconductor hardware engineering roles. I'm also part of the talent management team and became a Talogy-certified facilitator last year, supporting performance assessment, talent management, and succession planning. When I joined ST three years back, I got an amazing opportunity to visit Europe, primarily Switzerland, where I represented my region for the talent acquisition team. We were undergoing a lot of changes with new systems and processes, and I participated in workshops - it was a very good opportunity for somebody who was still very new to the company. Before starting my current career, I volunteered with a company called IN Education as a column writer for their magazine.
