ABOUT
Growing up I always had a passion and interest in healthcare. Initially, I was inspired to become an ER Physician. However, as time went on the career field changed, but never the sector in which it was in. During my time as an undergrad at the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, a friend of mine held a position at a data company, APPEN. He was tasked with collecting and testing data being to better improve data insights and business decisions for various companies. The position seemed of interest to me, so I asked if he could refer me. I obtained the position, and once doing so, the experience was eye-opening for me. I discovered my true interest in numbers and just how strongly data could tell a story. This discovery made me realize just how beneficial proper data analysis could do within healthcare. Also, how important it is to understand your data to drive change. Hence my desire to become a clinical data scientist. I believe that with my prior domain knowledge, alongside my new interest for analyzing data, I too can drive change through the use of numbers.
