Nicole Basinski is a Data Scientist on the Behavioral Intelligence team at Aware, a SaaS startup founded in Columbus, Ohio. She has industry experience in the development of product-driven machine learning models in the natural language space, as well as the handling of massive datasets. Nicole obtained a BS in Data Analytics from The Ohio State University in 2021, and completed the Erdos Institute Data Science Bootcamp in 2022. She has also been involved with the DataConnect conference for since 2021, and is honored to be a part of the WIA community.

The WIA community is an amazing space that highlights women, non-binary people, and other non-men in an otherwise male-dominated field. In WIA, I see others in similar positions as I am, and with similar values, and can learn from them. I feel honored each year to be able to contribute to the community however I can.

One of my absolute favorite parts of being a part of the Content Council is having the opportunity to meet so many talented and inspiring individuals, and hear the amazing things they want to talk about at the DataConnect conference. It's incredibly fulfilling to attend the conference and see these amazing people be highlighted and engage with an audience that wants to learn more from them too.
