In this episode of Highschool Pathfinder: For the Future You, Ayana sits down with Dr. Eyan Yeung, a Machine Learning Engineer whose career path proves that your first passion doesn’t always define your future. Starting in chemistry, economics, and biochemistry research, Eyan thought she’d spend her life in science. But what excited her most wasn’t the lab work — it was analyzing data and building models. That realization eventually pulled her into machine learning, where she now creates systems that connect people on dating apps and detect online scams.

Tune in to hear how Eyan made the leap from science to tech, what a machine learning engineer actually does day-to-day, and the skills high schoolers can start building now to explore this fast-growing field!
