🎓 ✨ When Raquel Jimenez ’26 arrived at NYU Shanghai, she planned to pursue Environmental Studies. But a first-year course sparked a new interest in data science, leading her to take a bold and challenging leap into a completely new field. Despite having no prior STEM background, Raquel embraced the transition with persistence and discipline. Today, she applies her interdisciplinary training to meaningful work—from developing GuideMe, an app that helps elderly users navigate smartphones, to contributing to research on climate and urban mobility. #NYUSH2026 #GraduateSpotlight https://lnkd.in/gsEzpBAk
