“In my current role at Northwell Health, because I learned about model building at Pace University, I was able to pitch business problems that revolved around predicting modeling that I am currently working on. I was able to provide sound arguments to why we need this model, how it will affect the business approach, and how the company can benefit from it. These models has brought a whole new level of analytics to my department at Northwell Health.”
