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.
