Ms. Chanu, 2017 Hesselbein Student Leader Fellow, was one of 50 selected from more than 800 student leader nominees from around the world. She is an honors graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and the Cornell Pre-Law Summer program. She joined NYCDSA to hone her programming and data visualization skills further, refine her machine learning and statistics mastery and polish her ability to communicate highly technical jargon in layman's terms. Her projects include analysis of sneaker re-sales data and social media data to unravel insights about consumer behavior.
