In the spirit of Mother’s and Father's Day just around the corner, we're featuring a story from +Sara LaVigna, a Software Engineer in Google Maps, whose path to Google was inspired by her parents field of work.

What is your role at Google?
My role at Google is as a software engineer at Ground Truth, a team under Google Maps. Through this initiative, we acquire high-quality map data from authoritative sources around the world and then apply a mix of advanced algorithms, supplemental data (including satellite, aerial and Street View imagery), and human input to create a map that corresponds as closely as possible to the real-world facts. I was an intern twice for the same team and now have been a full timer for 7 months. I love my team.
