I am a recent college graduate enrolled in a MS program in Business Analytics. My undergraduate studies included applied math, statistics and data science, and economics. My previous work experience includes working as an actuarial intern directly under the head actuary of Ansel Health in 2021, which is an insurance company that provides healthcare for groups of employees for firms. During this remote internship, I worked closely with a team to write, revise, and test Excel code to calculate premium rates derived from census and personal information. My time at Ansel Health taught me to effectively and efficiently execute Excel code, work intently alongside colleagues from different backgrounds from my own, and to be proud of the work I am doing. While completing my undergraduate studies, I worked closely with my thesis advisor and former statistics professor, John Staudenmayer, to create a thesis. The subject of the thesis was to analyze, using R Code and regression analysis, film data to explore what factors affect a film's gross revenue and profit. Throughout the semester long project, my Professor and I worked to collect and manipulate (creating binary variables to reduce degrees of freedom, adjust numerical values for inflation using CPI data, etc.) data sets using R Studio Code. I am diligent and even-tempered and can easily and will happily work with other people. I am reasonable, and personable which are attributes that I will bring, and more importantly enjoy bringing, to my workplace environment. I am hardworking and courageous, valuing teamwork and collaboration and willing to do what it takes to help my coworkers and I grow.After completing my MSBA program at UMass, I am highly anticipating pursuing a position in the financial sector. I am drawn towards the financial industry as it serves as an intermediary for economic growth which in turn can improve the public welfare at large.
