Exploring a Path from Math to Data

In this talk, I will share my experiences working in data science related roles in Hong Kong and Canada. I will describe how I explored different career paths and possibilities during my studies, despite starting with a weak academic background in applied math. I will also introduce the challenges I faced in finding internship opportunities and adapting to industry work, along with the strategies I used to overcome them. Finally, I will share some insights into how mathematical thinking and data-driven approaches in math and stats have influenced my career trajectory.
