New Beginnings - #1
September 7, 2019
With anticipation and excitement for Senior year, I began my ISM journey with an optimistic outlook, immediately diving deep into my newfound realization of my passion for data science. Through my seven week summer program with GirlsWhoCode, I discovered my interest in data science and gained knowledge surrounding the field. I hope to gain deeper insight into data science as I continue through ISM. With my first Research Assessment, I gained new insight about the data used in leading companies in the United States, and continue to answer my big question: “How is data beneficial to each aspect of a company?” I have also begun reaching out to a few professionals through Linkedin to learn more about what they do. I have officially scheduled my first interview with a Senior Data Scientist at American Airlines, Zhen Zhu, that will occur in two weeks and I am excited to continue reaching out to more people that I can learn from. Despite the fact that the year has just begun, I am already fascinated with the opportunities that ISM has guided me towards and I cannot wait to continue my research on data science through conducting interviews, reading articles, and eventually finding a mentor for a more hands-on experience. In the next week, I hope to seek out two more professionals to interview and continue discovering new intricacies in the field of data science.
