“Data never lies if it has been analyzed and interpreted it properly. The courses I am taking in the Rutgers Financial Statistics and Risk Management Master's degree program continue to enhance my ability to analyze data and use it for performance improvement and for prediction. My career objective is to be an outstanding professional quantitative analyst at a financial service firm where I can model performance and assess associated risks, so that I can help the institution optimize its financial returns in the context of its risk appetite.”
