Major: BS Data Science

Year: Senior

Hometown: Anaheim, CA

I chose this major because...  data science helps people understand what all the information means and how it can be visualized in a way that everyone can understand. Data analytics has always been interesting to me but I found that there is a gap between tech and non-tech people needs to be filled.

Favorite Course(s): INFO 213: Data Science Programming II and INFO 332: Exploratory Data Analytics

Clubs/Extracurricular Activities: Women in Computing Society (WICS), Drexel Jhalak, Coffee Club, Women's Empowerment, Upsilon Pi Epsilon

Co-ops I've done: Data Intern at NSWCPD; Data Analyst at PECO; Business Process Analyst at Pfizer

Favorite thing/place at Drexel: Korman Quad

When I'm not at Drexel, I'm... Hanging out with my friends and trying new things around the city, especially food!

When you are in Philadelphia, I think you should... Look out for events! There is always something going on somewhere so make sure you keep and eye out for them.

Advice to new/incoming CCI students: Try things you haven't done before! There are a lot of things to explore or you would want to be a part of. Look for what you like and make sure you make time for yourself too! I swear by my Google calendar.

What is your dream job? Either data analysis for a company that helps people or a professional choreographer.
