MEET JULIA B.
Online MSDA Student
“The job I got through the [Master of Science in Data Analytics] program is also helping me become a data scientist. I’ve been working with my manager in my current position to achieve that goal. So for the first year, I’ll work as a data engineer. Then I’ll transition into a role that’s halfway between data engineering and data science. Within three years, I’ll move onto the data science team, which puts me ahead of schedule for my goal.”
