 Reflection 1:
What were your reflections from the video?
-People naturally have an uncouncious bias and this bias can directly impact your decision making.
In what ways have you examined your implicit biases before coming to Turing?
-I have examined my implicit bias before coming to turing by learning from situation I have found myself in. I have been put in situation where i may have believed or sided with a scenerio without fully researching it myself purely based on anothers opinion of it or with a rough idea of it. I have realized that regardless the situation wether it is basic gossip or politics that it is better to appproach all situations with an open mind and always empathize.
What kind of software do you imagine building in the future? How will understanding biases (or avoiding understanding biases) impact your products? I would like to be creating software for big coorporations or hospitals. Understanding bias will halp me in this for the future because it is best not to jump to assumption of task that people can perform. At the same time it is best to be inclusive, especially in a hospital setting, since there are people with different strengths and weaknesses.

Reflection 2:
When you consider the way you move through the world, what elements of your identity are you most aware of on a daily basis?
-Some elements of my identity that I am aware of on a daily bases is that I am a young, minority, women. Although many will argue being young is great thing it can cause some issues in how other percieve you (naive, incompetent). Being a minority is also a big part of identity because it creates a bubble of sterotyes based on perception (some good some bad). Being a womene is also a huge element of my identity since this can also comes with sterotypes. Although women are prized for being "beautiful" they can also be viewed as less than a man (not as smart or strong) or not "beautiful enough" to anothers standard.
What strengths does your identity give you? How will you utilize those at Turing?
-My identity allows me to encourage those who can relate to me (even those that may not) to also be persistant and pursue their dreams. Can be a mom, veteran, wife, etc. If they need that push of encouragement to take charge or start something new or a role model to reference to I can be that. My strengths allow me incourage and influence others to better themselves.
How do you think you could value the identies of those around you to bring out their strengths at Turing? Has there been a time where you were able to advocate or include people around you?
-Being able to encourage others regardless of the situation is great way to value people identities. Listening to people and understanding them as well. I have had break out sessions where some don't understand or are not confident in what was being leanred (i was also like that at some point) and when i realized they were getting flustered i empathized and stated that i was feeling that exact same way! What things helped in understanding better. I feel like reminding others that you too can relate to how they are feeling helps them feel more included.
How will your strengths impact you as a teammate? What will you bring to your cohort?
-I feel like my strengths will help me as a team mate by creating respect between me and others. If someone is stuck i am the person who will help them figure it out or explain to them my tricks hoping that if i was in a similar situation someone will do the same for me. Helping others resolve a problem or feel more inclusive will create a better bond/trust between a team.
