“I pursued data science for two main reasons. First, it sits squarely at the crossroads of creative problem-solving and technical know-how. Most data science jobs allow you to wield a technical toolset with freedom and creativity, which was really appealing! Second, I saw data scientists as ‘arbiters of truth,’ the people who brought objectivity to decisions previously made based on intuition and seniority; I loved the idea of being able to speak truth within an organization and to help others make better decisions.”
