Case Western Reserve University
I graduated from Case Western Reserve University with both my bachelor’s and first master’s degrees in materials science and engineering. When I started my undergraduate studies at Case Western Reserve University, I avoided coding because I did not think I was cut out for it. However, when I continued with my master’s in materials science and engineering and had to work with large datasets, I decided to teach myself Python using online resources.
In my industry experience at Intel, I created scripts to sort, process, and visualize manufacturing data that streamlined quality presentations. I became the data guru for people to reach out or direct others to me. All the while I saw these side projects as fun logic puzzles to solve. Through this experience, I realized I still have many fundamentals to learn as a data scientist.
After exposure to the tech world from my Northeastern peers and touring companies in Seattle and San Francisco, I discovered I am interested in machine learning, data management, and analysis. Furthermore, I felt a sense of belonging in this tech environment. After seeing the student outcomes at Northeastern University, I believe Align will provide me with the resources to succeed in developing my passion for data science.
My journey has pushed me to discover the type of career I want to pursue, which is working with both customers and business leaders to ensure business success through data-driven decisions. There are always data processes that can be improved based on my experience, and I want to be able to use my knowledge to make data more accessible and manageable. As well, I want to inspire others to dive into their passions. I pivoted my career by going to Northeastern University and it has been one of the best decisions of my life.
