In Her Own Words: Math & Computer Science Grad Preparing for Career in Big Data
“After graduating from Seton Hill, I immediately entered into graduate school to study statistical computing and data mining at the University of Central Florida. While in graduate school, I'm also a graduate teaching assistant for introductory statistics courses. I'm excited for the path that I am taking in that statistics and big data is a booming field in various sectors of industry, and after I graduate, I am poised to apply for any number of positions from any number of companies. However, I would not have been able to excel in this program were it not for the preparation I received in obtaining both my mathematics and computer science degrees from Seton Hill. The quantitative and analytical skills that I developed through these classes have been instrumental to my success in graduate school, and will be pivotal in my future career.”
