Yasmin Elsaddik
Hi, I'm Yasmin!
I'm based in San Francisco. I have a master's in digital transformation, and most of my work sits between operations and research. I've published on VR for stress relief and on AI in recruitment.
I speak five languages and love to travel. When I'm not working, I deal with a German Shepherd named Nala who thinks she's in charge.
