Welcome to Episode #3 of the Let’s Make it Count podcast!
This week, we sit and talk with Joyce Hunter, who is the founder of Vulcan Enterprises, a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting underserved youth to the knowledge and application of data science. In this episode, Joyce speaks freely of her wide career path, one that has taken her from the White House to summer camp to data security, and the obstacles she had to overcome along the way. One of the few women in her field during the late 1990s, Joyce has been on the front lines of the growth of data science as a discipline and open data as a concept—and has been the inspiration of women who pursue a wide range of STEM-based fields. She also illuminates how the use of data has become recognized as an integral tool for nearly every industry our society has to offer—and why the youth of this country are advised to join the field of data science no matter how technical (or not) they are.
