Yvonne Lau is a recent college graduate from Yale University with a B.A. in Economics and Mathematics. As a quantitative economist, she is deeply passionate about applying her analytical skills to solve business problems. In her previous internships, she used data analysis to find opportunities to reduce expenses for a management consulting firm in Brazil, and applied text-mining techniques to evaluate student satisfaction surveys for an educational non-profit. For her capstone project at NYC Data Science Academy, Yvonne and her team scraped over a million reviews from Metacritic to create a multi-category video games, movies and TV shows hybrid recommendation engine application to help drive sales of media products.
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.
