While working in the VR/AR space, it began apparent that they were not many women and women of color producing content nor represented in content. Bianca’s goal is to inspire little girls and young women of color to pursue VR/AR and other forms of emerging technologies, i.e. machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Bianca partners with higher education institutions, organizations, and businesses by working closely with education and workforce development consultants, career services staff, university departments, and professional development leads to provide new and innovative methods to help their women leaders advance their careers.

In life, we choose what labels and brands we wear. As an independent woman, loving daughter, and big sister, her life’s mission is tied to fighting and lobbying for women’s rights, especially women of color and women in tech. This passion for empowerment is weaved intricately throughout her work. Twelve years as woman of color in IT has taught her valuable lessons about how to be an advocate.
