Back to All Data and Statistical Analysis, Mathematics Spotlights

I graduated from Saint Michael’s College in May 2020 with a double major in Mathematics and Economics and a minor in Data Science. Following graduation, I started at Liberty Mutual in Boston, MA in the Analyst Development Program (ADP) – a year long program in which recent college graduates interested in Analytics and Data Science go through a three month period of technical and insurance themed training, before rotating on 3 different teams in three-month periods. After the ADP I joined the Demand Modeling team, where I am now an Analyst I, Data Science.

On this team I blend the mathematical, computer science, and economics skills I learned at St. Mike’s to solve various demand based and data science problems. This can include building complex retention and lifetime value models, designing and engineering proprietary Python packages, or working on cost benefit analysis to understand the impact an action can have on retention, conversion, etc.

My time at Saint Michael’s College prepared me to succeed in the working world. From the Alumni connections which helped me learn about analytics at Liberty, to the computer science and data science courses which taught me the coding skills I use on a daily basis. Saint Michaels’ College, and in particular the mathematics department, taught me to think critically, how to problem solve complex issues, and how to explain technical issues to non-technical audiences.
