Ever since my childhood, I have been a curious and eager child.

Computers have
been the biggest part of my life. Now with each passing year, my interest has grown
manifolds. I am particularly interested in studying data science since I realized that it
can be used to develop marketing models and that companies these days are
starting to analyze big datasets to measure consumers’ product preferences and
make use of it to determine their future sales.

The multi-disciplinary field of data science combines computer science with

probability, statistics, analysis and management skills. Data science is also the
answer to the most complex business and practical questions. I believe that data
science is the future of Artificial intelligence and it is beneficial to learn about it more
to cater to my interests. I hope to use the knowledge I will gain from my masters’
degree to perform meaningful analysis of large sets of data.

I have been intensively involved in learning mathematics throughout my education

and had a particular interest in the subject. I am familiar with concepts such as
machine learning models, elementary statistics, and probability theory. I have also
studied data structures which were the beginning of my interest and played a crucial
role in forming my choices.

At TCS, India, I worked on a project of Human resource data of clients in the initial
year. During the course of this project, I was responsible for Data cleaning and Data
manipulation by using SQL and SAS .Right after I completed one year in TCS, I was
promoted to the post of Assistant Data Analyst and moved to new project of Credit
Card and Bank loan Analysis, my responsibilities were increased. I was excited to take
up the challenges pertaining to this role and I always made an extra effort to receive
good feedback from my seniors in this project I realised the true potential of Data
Science and Analytics. My interest in this field has always increased throughout
learning and it motivates me to seek greater knowledge in advanced studies in this
field. While working in the TCS, consistent up-gradation of knowledge through
regular reading, interaction with the management, and experienced faculty in this
field, have added to my professional growth.
Throughout practical work experience, I was fortunate to gain some required
experience in the domain of analytics. I believe that curiosity and eagerness to learn
can take you places. I wish to learn everything I can in the field of data science as I
believe there is still a long way to go for me.

This masters’ program will thus be a step towards achieving my dreams. This
program will train me in different methods of statistical analysis, and programming
knowledge needed to continue with my goal to provide research for companies.
Thompson Rivers University has been my dream institute to pursue this course as I
wish to take the benefits of the expert knowledge provided by the skilled faculty of
the university.

Through this degree, I aim to enhance my knowledge and expertise in programming

and mathematics. The practical knowledge will give me the technical expertise to
pursue my career as a data scientist.
