You switched majors from Game Programming to Data Science. How was that experience?
The Upside-Down Curriculum helped me realize that Game Programming wasn’t for me, but I knew I wanted to stay at Champlain because of the small classes and few tests. Dean Lawson—my advisor—and Wei Chan, the Assistant Dean for the division, suggested Data Analytics* because it was the mix of business and computer science that I wanted.
*Program name changed to Data Science for Fall 2020
What do you like most about the Data Science program?
I love the puzzle of working with different datasets. Each one has a question to answer, and it’s a fun adventure to figure out if the data answers or doesn’t answer that question. I’ve also loved all my classes with Narine Hall, because she is so willing to change up the class pacing based on how well we understand the material.
Do you feel prepared to graduate?
Yes. A lot of the master’s degrees that I was looking at seem to overlap a lot with the work that I was doing already in my classes. So yes, I do feel prepared for going out into the workforce.
