Microbiologist turned into a data scientist! After 10 years of creating experimental data in the lab, I realized that my real passion was not in creating the data, but in finding and developing the story that the data held. I came to NYC Data Science Academy to develop the coding, statistics, and modeling skills needed to make that transition real. My favorite project from the academy was building a recommendation system for Yelp reviews. Trying to predict people’s subjective preferences is such a complicated task that has an almost endless list of options to consider when developing models!
NYC Data Science Academy’s mission is to provide accelerated data science training programs that prepare people for employment as data science professionals and to offer continuing education courses for professional development.
