Welcome to High School Pathfinder: For the Future You! I'm your host, Ayana Mehta- a high school student who, just like you, is figuring out what comes next. I started this podcast to make one thing easier for high school students: finding your path before you're forced to choose it. Each week, I talk with people who are truly great at what they do and ask them how they got to where they are today. This includes everything from doctors, designers, biotech investors, engineers, and more! These aren't just highlight reels or "follow your dream" speeches. They are honest conversations about doubt, discovery, and decision-making. But this podcast isn't just about job titles. It's about the skills that help you succeed in ANY path: resilience, confidence, focus, and leadership. You'll also hear from mentors and young professionals who've mastered the mindsets we rarely learn in school but absolutely need. If you've ever felt overwhelmed when someone asks, "So what do you want to do in the future?", this podcast is for you. If you are a parent, teacher, or mentor trying to support someone in that moment, it's for you too!

When most people hear “data science,” they think of coding and algorithms. But there’s an entire side of this field that connects directly to business strategy and major decisions.
In this episode, I sit down with Suchi Shahani, a Data Scientist at Arrow Electronics, to talk about how she uses data in the Aerospace & Defense sector to influence high-stakes contract decisions. She shares what her day-to-day work actually looks like, how her background in electronics engineering shapes her approach, and what students should focus on if they’re interested in this field.
If you’re curious about careers in data science that go beyond just writing code, this episode gives you a real look at what’s possible!!
