"My passion is to understand and empower business through data science approaches."
Previous Degree: Bachelor of Management, Beijing Forestry University
Prior Experience: Xiaomi, Publicis Media
Program: MDS Vancouver, Class of 2017
Two years ago, I decided to make a bold career change moving from human resources into data analysis. I made it happen through the UBC MDS program. MDS helped me gain the knowledge and skill sets required as a data science professional. The final capstone project was amazing: I obtained hands-on industrial experience on real-world data science problems in a collaborative manner. As an international student, I also felt MDS provided an excellent immersive environment that greatly improved my English in a short period of time.
