WHAT DO YOU DO?

I use data to help answer business questions, for example, which customers would be most likely to buy if we send them a promotion? i do this using mathematical techniques and software

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?

I actually took a very roundabout way to get here but I realised that I enjoyed using my mind for work. I think of it like exercise for my brain.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"

I wish younger me would have learnt how to program sooner because once you know one it is pretty similar to learn another

WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?

I like how numbers can illuminate stories. I also think more women should be involved in STEM because the people making technology will forget about our perspective.
