🌟 NAVCAL EXCELLENCE 🌟

We’re so excited to celebrate Ashley Santos, NAVCAL alum, who was recently featured by UC Berkeley’s Data Science Undergraduate Studies for her inspiring journey into a career in data science! 🎓💻✨

From facing setbacks to finding her place at Berkeley and building a career she’s proud of, Ashley’s story is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t have to follow one timeline. Along the way, she found community through NAVCAL and continues to give back by mentoring students navigating similar paths.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Ashley and see her continue to inspire others to take up space, embrace their journey, and keep moving forward. 🐻💐
