Summary

As a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Statistics, I am enthusiastic about leveraging my quantitative skills and statistical knowledge in the realm of insurance modeling. My academic background has equipped me with a solid foundation in data analysis, predictive modeling, and risk assessment, essential for developing sophisticated models to help insurance companies assess and manage risk effectively. My passion for mathematics was a key motivator that supported my academic efforts; additionally, my full-time job served me well with opportunities to hone my soft skills, training skills, as well as manage competing priorities.
