UC Davis is known for being top-notch in Business Analytics, so it felt like the right fit for where I want to head next.

Over the last two years i became a Software Engineering Lead at Meta and quickly realized how important it is having a business analytical background to back up your projects. Having a great solution that saves millions of dollars is not enough for trillion-dollar companies, they need to fully understand the short term vs long term impact of your solution as well as proving with statistics if it satisfies a real business need.

I decided to enroll on a Masters of Science in Business Analytics at UC Davis to be able to keep expanding my leadership knowledge. While most enroll on such Masters to become a Business Analyst, I plan to utilize my degree as a tool to enhance my leadership skills to get the support I need from those at stake.
