Mısra Turp is a data scientist, content creator, and educator who has built a career at the intersection of machine learning and community. After years working as a data scientist for international companies in the Netherlands, she started her own platform for teaching data science and guiding newcomers into the field. Her website, So You Want to Be a Data Scientist, has grown into a full-blown platform of videos, blog posts, and online courses.

On top of running the platform, Mısra works as a developer advocate at AssemblyAI, a company that builds a state-of-the-art Speech-to-Text API, where she helps developers get the most out of AI models in their own products. Her path into the field started in big data engineering before moving into data science and then developer advocacy, an experience she draws on when mentoring people who want to make the same transition.

She regularly shares practical career advice on breaking into data science, building portfolios that get interviews, and staying current in a fast-moving field, and she has spoken about managing FOMO and imposter syndrome along the way.
