Data Science Consultant @ SCIAM | Columbia University & CentraleSupélec
Living abroad for 11 years in China, in the UAE and in Qatar fostered my open-mindedness and curiosity. After two years of industrial engineering at CentraleSupélec and of competitive sports (volleyball and swimming), my curiosity has transformed into a willingness to improve today’s society through advanced analytics and client services. All of this has led me to Columbia University, where I pursued a Master of Science in Management Science & Engineering. Courses in Machine Learning and Neural Networks, combined to client projects in the Operations Consulting course fed my curiosity. I am fulfilling my passion for business strategy, data science and problem-solving at SCIAM, a small french consultancy where I am a Data Science Consultant.
