Her quick bio:

My name is Christine, and I was born and raised in New York! I am currently a technology consultant specializing in Workday Financials software implementations at Accenture, a top tech consulting firm. On the side, I create YouTube videos to help more people learn about the field of Technology Consulting as there is a lack of resources on this career! My hope is also to bring representation on the platform of an Asian woman in a field where women are less prevalent like in technology consulting to encourage other women to join this amazing field!

About our Guest Speaker:

Title:  CTO sexualis, student in Ph.D cognitive computing

Social media handles: https://www.facebook.com/sex3ualis/

Website: https://www.sexualis.ca/home

Mahault Albarracin, M.A. sexologist and web developer, is the co-founder of Sexualis.

A graduate of the baccalaureate and master's degree in research and intervention in sexology from UQAM and currently a doctorate in cognitive computing, she is passionate about the intersection between technologies and the social / cognitive sciences.

Vice-president of the Manifesto for Women in Tech, she has a specific interest in the advancement of women in environments that are still difficult for them to access. Professional representation is therefore an important subject for her, and the representation of baccalaureate sexologists is no exception.

A militant feminist since the age of four (!!!), she has traveled all over the world, from Asia to America. These numerous journeys have enabled him to acquire an ability to adapt to new situations and to customs that differ from his own.

Sexualis presented itself to her as a stimulating technological challenge and an opportunity to communicate worlds that were still too far apart.
