M.S. Candidate in Business Analytics ‘23

During my five years as an officer in the United States Air Force, I witnessed the impacts of slow, manpower-intensive analytic processes and the successes that replacing those processes with automated or augmented versions can yield. Now I'm seeking to apply these observations and my experience as a high-stakes team leader to business, transforming workflows to arm decision-makers with data more effectively.  I'm interested in Summer 2023 technology solutions internships in consulting, marketing, or healthcare. When I'm not studying you'll find me working out with my wife Natalie, learning about physical, mental, and financial wellness, or searching for the best bars and restaurants in town.

M.S. Candidate in Business Analytics ‘23

While working with a New York-based ad agency as a media buyer, I gained an understanding of how companies leverage data and gain insights to become market leaders. My role was at the intersection of media and technology with the goal of delivering actionable insights through the analysis of datasets to support executive decision-making. However, I realized that to dig deeper and uncover meaningful information from large and complex datasets, I would need to use more sophisticated tools such as Python and SQL. I subsequently applied to the MSBA program to better equip myself to tackle pressing challenges in the business world. Post graduation, my goal is to pursue opportunities in media, tech, or retail.

Renata Halim

B.S. in Business Administration, concentration in Finance and Management Information Systems, Boston University
M.S. Candidate in Business Analytics ‘23

After my internship with PTC, I grew interested in using data to bridge departmental gaps, particularly the gap between individuals with technical roles and those with customer-facing roles. Working for the Customer Success department allowed me to build a customer-centric mindset that I continually apply in my work. However, the exposure I had to analytics tools including Qlik Sense, Google Analytics, and Salesforce made it evident that to realize my goals, I needed to move beyond Excel if I would like to uncover meaningful information from the large sets of data companies gather. The analytics capabilities I am enhancing in MSBA and my business background are transferrable to a variety of fields.  I would be excited to work in software, consumer goods, or healthcare after graduation.
