As a 2022 graduate of the Dietrich School, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh. During my undergraduate career, I developed a passion for mathematical modeling and numerical analysis. The curriculum of the MQE program grants me the opportunity to further explore these interests through economic modeling, data analysis, and machine learning. In completing the MQE program, I hope to connect with students across the university who share my curiosity for data science and continue my academic and professional development. Upon graduation, I hope to find a career working in the public sector as a data analyst for the federal or state government.
