Live intentionally. There are a lot of things in our lives that are not in our control, but there are some that are. We should be intentional about making decisions for the things we can control.
About Linda
- I immigrated to the U.S. from China when I was in middle school.
- My dad urged me to go into engineering and technology because of the security that learning hard skills could provide.
- I considered computer science but it didn’t seem like I’d fit into that community, so I studied industrial engineering and operations research instead.
- After graduating, I worked as an engineer at Lockheed Martin—it wasn’t a great culture fit for me, so I started looking for something that would match better.
- I transitioned into the technology industry and worked as a senior business intelligence analyst for Ubisoft for a few years before moving to Facebook.
- I started at Facebook as a marketing analyst and have since worked my way up to data scientist and then product manager.
- I’m also the founder of Moms in Tech, an online support community for women.
