I recently graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) with a master’s in Technology, Innovation and Education where I gained knowledge about learning sciences and technological tools, and how these can be applied in designing courses. I have deep knowledge about Mathematics and Statistics from having a BA and an MS in Mathematics and being a near-qualified Actuary. In my various quantitative roles over the past 15 years, I have written SAS programs and developed excel models to analyze data. I enjoy writing computer codes to build data models and create data visualizations. I completed a Data and Policy Summer Scholar program at University of Chicago where I learnt to conduct data analysis and create data visualizations in R. Recently, I completed courses at HGSE in statistical analysis and data science where I learnt to conduct various regressions and predictive analytics.
