Kara Christensen

Recent graduate in Applied Mathematics and Computing at UCLA, where I was a Regents Scholar. Over a year of professional experience with Data Analytics, and looking to move into it full time. Skilled in SQL (PostgreSQL), Looker and other BI tools, Python, Statistics, Mathematical Modeling, and Machine Learning.

What's special about me? My experience teaching and writing curricula about technical topics allows me to present the most complex of findings to any stakeholder. I have over 5 years of experience explaining programming and mathematical concepts to children, and this experience is the foundation of how I construct stories out of the data conclusions I find.

I'm extremely excited to be a part of the MIDS program, to expand on my data knowledge and explore new areas of Data Science.

Personally, I love going for walks, playing video games on my Switch, drinking tea, and watching reality tv (like Survivor, which I have done some data analysis on). I'm super excited to connect with other people who are passionate about Data Science!
