Since middle school, Dionne Swift knew she would pursue a math- or science-related occupation because those were her favorite subjects. Fortunately, her math and science teachers looked like her in both middle and high school and, as relatable role models, they sparked her interest in math and science. Because of the mentors in her life, Swift strives to inspire others to achieve their educational and professional dreams and is active in the initiatives of the ASA Committee on Minorities in Statistics, including serving as a mentor since 2012.
