"My favorite experience was being part of the AI Advantage cohort, where I experienced the power of the WOMEN x AI community on a weekly basis. It was inspiring to see how we supported each other’s projects and created a dedicated space to integrate new AI tools for our career growth. Additionally, the end-of-year event in partnership with Latina Geeks—another community dear to my heart—provided deep insights into how we can support one another and grow together as women in tech." - Tany Rios Castro
