About Me

Hi, my name is Pia Atal and I'm a current sophomore in BUAI! I first explored the intersection of business and technology when I started a nonprofit that teaches students how to code. At USC, I've further developed both my technical and business skills through my classes and clubs, such as RISE Consulting and Theta Tau. As a part of BUAI, I continue to explore this blend as I hope to leverage AI to transform businesses and make an impact in my community. This past summer, I had the opportunity to intern at Deloitte where I further explored my interest in AI Consulting. In my free time I love to hike, go to the beach, explore new food spots, and spend time with friends.
