Jamila H. Lindo was born in Jamaica and grew up in both London and New York City. Lindo holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with minors in Environmental Engineering and Religious Studies. In addition, she holds a Master of Science from Columbia University. As a young professional, Lindo has found herself as the only woman of color in what at first seemed to be unimaginable spaces: from being an engineer in one of the largest transportation projects in the United States to being a problem solver at the top technology companies in the world: Microsoft, Meta (Formerly known as Facebook), and Amazon. She wants to remind girls that all things are possible.

Her favorite things include enjoying Stew Leonard's ice cream at home in Connecticut and relaxing in London parks (when the weather allows for it).
