Favorite Class
Advanced Data Analytics
What is the best thing about studying Data Science at Champlain?
I love the major. It’s relatively small, so I know everyone in all of my classes. I have all the same professors for most of my classes, and it’s nice to have a consistent classroom environment. With the Upside-Down Curriculum, I was engaged in my major from the start of my first semester.
Have you worked on any particularly rewarding projects?
One project I worked on in my Advanced Data Analytics class analyzed how names are pronounced. With that information, we generated a list of believable and pronounceable names. I found this particularly rewarding because I was able to use my knowledge from the class to make a practical application using our data.
Can you tell us about your internship?
I was an Assistant Data Analyst for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in their Office of Performance Management & Innovation. My classes prepared me for this experience because the problems I tackled at my internship were similar to ones I’d already faced in the classroom. This internship will give me a competitive advantage when I graduate, because now I have experience dealing with real-world problems in a professional working environment.
