About Emily Helfer

If you are looking for a female who knows about statistics and machine learning, then look no further. Upon graduation, I became one of the first women in the country to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Statistics and Machine Learning. My academic experiences give me a unique set of skills that I hope to improve on even further during my professional career.The reason I chose to pursue a career in data is because I have always been interested in human behavior. I love to understand why people act and make decisions the way they do. I also enjoy having friendly arguments with people, and I always use facts to back up my arguments. Using facts and data to convey ideas to people is also why I love communicating my findings from doing an analysis.
