Jin Pu (she/her/hers)

Nancy was one of the most outstanding interns during her time at Activism Always. She was a fast learner, self motivator, and top performer. She always brought energy to the team and was passionate about exploring NLP, Machine Learning and Full-Stack Engineering. Her work was well delivered and valuable to Activism Always. She also had adorable personality- I feel so lucky to have had her on the team!
