Daliana Liu

I'm a career coach and entrepreneur. Previously, I was a Senior Data Scientist at Amazon with 7 years of experience in data science & ML. 

When I started my career, I felt lost. I struggled to meet expectations and feared I wasn't good enough. I had to figure out how to navigate my career and advocate for myself. Eventually, I got promoted to a senior data scientist at Amazon, leading high-impact projects and mentoring data scientists and MLEs. My career advice has been featured on Business Insider, Amazon Science Blog, and VentureBeat.

In my coaching program, I help data science/ML professionals advance their careers and future-proof themselves without the burnout.
