The Master of Statistics and Operations Research program was the right fit for me  ̶  it combines the high-level theoretical aspects of statistics with the practicality of data analytics.

I studied Management Engineering in Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines.

Inspired by the power and ability of data to tell genuine stories, I decided to further my knowledge and expertise in the field of data analytics.

The Master of Statistics and Operations Research program was the right fit for me  ̶  it combines the high-level theoretical aspects of statistics with the practicality of data analytics.

RMIT provided a supportive and nurturing environment that connected me with lifelong friends and mentors. In addition, the computer laboratories were easily accessible and the free software from myDesktop was very convenient!

During my studies, I completed a data science internship at iSelect and also took part in Deloitte's summer vacation program.

I’m currently working in the field, creating an app prototype that uses text mining and sentiment analysis as a potential starting point for business insights.

I am inspired more and more by the power of data with each and every thing I learn.

Ultimately, this program has provided an opportunity where I get to practice data science while uncovering insights every day.
