Takeaways

This program gave me more than technical skills—it reshaped how I think about data as a tool for problem-solving. Each course added a layer, from statistics and Python workflows to visualization and stakeholder communication. I learned how to frame questions in a structured way, test them rigorously, and translate results into insights that others could act on. The capstone project was especially meaningful because it forced me to bring everything together: exploring messy data, building predictive models, and presenting findings with clarity. It wasn’t just about coding or running models, but about telling a story that could guide decisions. Looking back, the biggest gain was confidence: knowing I can approach complex problems systematically, and that I have both the technical foundation and the communication skills to make my work matter.
