Pia Atal

About Me
My name is Pia Atal and I'm a current freshman in the AI for Business Major. I first explored the intersection of business and technology when I started a nonprofit that teaches students how to code. From there, I developed both technical programming skills through certifications and business consulting skills as a manager at a tutoring center. As a BUAI major, I will get to further explore this blend as I hope to go into tech consulting while using AI to advance the daily lives of humans. In my free time I love to hike, go to the beach, explore new food spots, and spend time with friends.
