Meet Mika M. (she/her), a New Face of Tech winner who is studying accounting and data analytics at Golden Gate University.

What is your dream?

My dream is to be a leader at the intersection of technology and business, specializing in internal audit, SOX compliance, and data analytics. Using tools, such as Alteryx and Power BI, I want to drive financial accuracy and regulatory compliance, while fueling innovation through diversity and inclusion.

I aim to create opportunities for underrepresented groups in technology and finance, enabling them to grow and contribute to transformational solutions.

Please share how you feel about the win and what impact it will have on your career.

This achievement is a testament to the power of perseverance and purpose. It fuels my passion for building bridges between technology and business while empowering those at the bottom of the social ladder. This milestone reaffirms my commitment to driving innovation, compliance, and inclusivity in the financial and technology sectors.

What advice do you have for other women reaching for their dreams?

Believe in your potential and don’t get caught up in self-doubt. Surround yourself with people who support your vision, seek opportunities to grow, and always remember that your unique journey has the power to inspire others.
