Why did you decide to join the Master of Management Analytics program?
During my undergraduate degree, I knew that I was interested in the data science field. Therefore, all my co-op experiences were related to data to some extent. However, I do find a gap between real-life questions and analytical solutions, and the MMA is the perfect program that will help me close the gap. The MMA program will help me tell stories using the data we have, and this will allow me to use my modelling and analytical skills to make a greater impact in the business world.
