Hello, I'm Aleena, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to my page. My story begins in the vast universe of astrophysics, where I spent years studying the mysteries of the cosmos. However, my journey took a significant turn, leading me to the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of data science and machine learning. Today, I balance my time between working as a part-time lecturer and a machine learning engineer, and I'm passionate about sharing my experiences and expertise to help others navigate their own academic and career paths.
Why I'm Here
The transition from academia to industry can be challenging, especially without the right guidance and support. When I was applying for my PhD, I struggled to find mentors who could provide the insights and advice I needed. This experience inspired me to become the mentor I wish I had. I don't want anyone else to feel lost or unsupported in their pursuit of higher education and career goals.

Academia and Beyond
The name "Academia" symbolizes growth, exploration, and the pursuit of knowledge.
