This month, we spotlight new member Sara Neequaye, who answered the following questions so we could get to know her better:
How did you become interested in statistics and/or data science?
Statistics allowed me to see the direct application of math. I was unsatisfied with taking college courses in calculus, since it wasn’t clear to me how those skills would apply to my everyday life. I became interested in learning statistics and figured it would pair well with my public health interests.
What do you consider your dream job?
In the field of public health, I would love to work in an environment in which I can have a healthy balance between people-facing and internal operations. I would also love to travel some days and have flexible working hours.
What do you hope understanding statistics and/or data science helps you accomplish?
Understanding data science and/or statistics helps me make informed decisions and filter mis/disinformation in my consumption of media and/or news.
Is there a particular group of statisticians you would like to reach out to you (e.g., from a section, interest group, chapter, committee)?
- Committee on Women in Statistics and Data Science
- Committee on Minorities in Statistics
- Statistics Without Borders
What is your favorite hobby?
Photography.
What is something you would like people to know about you that we haven’t asked?
I love playing Just Dance.
