Misty Rodriguez

Why did you join the AITP Board?

To serve the tech community. 

WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR AITP IN THE FIRST YEAR

Membership strong. And learn something from all the people I get to meet along the way. 

If you could invent one piece of futuristic tech tomorrow, what would it be and why?

A Universal Translator for Abilities - A device (maybe wearable, maybe AR glasses) that translates someone's abilities into universally understood skills. For someone with a disability, it could highlight strengths in real time so hiring manager's see their value instantly.

What’s your most “unplugged” hobby that has nothing to do with technology?

Walking/Hiking - Being outdoors and not worrying about my phone or computer. 

Which sci-fi character (movie, show, or book) do you most relate to—or secretly wish you could be?

Really? Darth Vader. Like come on ... he was good until someone pissed him off. Then SMH everything blew up and he became the guy that wears black. And you can't go wrong with the color black. 

What’s the quirkiest item on your desk or in your workspace right now?

A palette painting picture I did with my sweet friend, Angie. It's a wonderful reminder that art is not my forte and also that I had a blast that night.

If our association had a theme song, what would you nominate and why?

Come Together Now by Matt and Kim (from Lego Movie 2) IYKYK
