To me, the InfoSci experience is... 

About transforming my industry experience into a more strategic, data-driven skill set. With my background in technology consulting, I see it as an opportunity to deepen my understanding of how information systems drive business value.

More about me:

I have worked in the technology consulting industry in India for over six years, where I’ve gained experience working with data and collaborating closely with business teams on system enhancements. This inspired me to pursue my degree to better bridge the gap between technology and business strategy. What I find most rewarding is applying analytical skills to solve real-world problems and create meaningful business impact.

I have worked for more than six years as a senior software engineer in the life sciences domain for a leading American pharmaceutical client. With this degree, I'm aiming for data analyst or business analyst roles.

My advice for prospective InfoSci students is...

Be proactive and make the most of every opportunity. Coming from a professional background, I’ve learned that growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone—so engage in hands-on projects, collaborate with diverse peers and take initiative in your learning. Building connections and applying your knowledge to real-world challenges will make your experience truly meaningful.
