Jada moved to the United Kingdom in 2015 to pursue a degree in law with politics at the University of Manchester. On graduation she relocated to Reading in the south of England, where she took on various temporary positions in administration during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jada first heard about APL when her partner, Rich Park, joined Dyalog Ltd in October 2018. Since then, she has attended various Dyalog Ltd events as a guest, including Dyalog ’19 and Dyalog ’22, and found the enthusiasm and passion of the APL community infectious, despite having little to no experience in computing. Attending these events left Jada with a very positive impression of Dyalog Ltd, particularly with the logistical planning and administrative organization evident from the smooth running of each event. She was also in the unique position of being able to interact with Dyalog Ltd employees prior to joining the company, fostering good relationships through casual communication.

Therefore, when the possibility of joining Team Dyalog as an administration assistant and office manager was brought up, she immediately jumped on the opportunity and officially joined the company towards the end of March 2023. She hopes to lessen the current workload of the administration team, and enjoys the varied nature of her role as she gets to explore legal, finance, customer relations and office management tasks.

Outside work, Jada enjoys improving her running skills, taking long walks in the bountiful nature of Berkshire, occasionally canoeing, discovering cool Japanese manga, and making delicious dishes in the kitchen.
