Welcome to my portfolio, highlighting my skills, experience, and projects as a data analytics graduate from University of Michigan.
Hello! My name is Julia, and I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This past April, I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Information (BSI) degree with a concentration on Information Analysis. I am passionate about using technology and data to gather insights and develop solutions to complex problems. Throughout my studies at the University of Michigan, I have acquired numerous skills in a range of technologies including Python, C++, HTML/CSS, and R. In summer 2022, I joined Elevance Health (formerly Anthem Inc.) as a Data Analytics Intern in the Pharmacy Operations department, where I learned and developed my skills in data and business analytics. In March 2024, I'm excited to join Accenture in the Chicago office as a Consulting Analyst in the Applied Intelligence division.
Programming language for data analysis; experienced with libraries such as pandas, NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, seaborn, scikit-learn.
A programming language for statistical computing and graphics.
A standard language for database creation and manipulation. Skilled in SQL database design, normalization, and querying.
Preparing messy data for analysis and visualization; primarily through Jupyter notebooks.
Designing models that can predict trends and outcomes from past datapoints.
Turning numbers into a visually appealing story.
Beginning in March 2024, I will be starting my corporate career at Accenture in the Chicago office. I will be starting as a Consulting Analyst in the Consulting Development Program on the Applied Intelligence team.
I managed front-desk support for students and instructors, handling inquiries, room reservations, streaming requests, and overseeing material check-in/out. Provided essential tech support for LRC computing services, managing emails and maintaining the digital reservation catalog, contributing to overall efficiency. Conducted data analysis for room and film reservation data in the center.
As an Instructional Aide, I provided support to professors by managing course content and serving as a liaison between the teaching team and students. This involved reviewing, grading, and offering feedback on the homework and exams of an average of 40 students per week. Additionally, I took a hands-on approach by leading twice-weekly office hours, where I actively assisted students in enhancing their programming technique and efficiency. I was an Instructional Aide for SI 106 (an introductory coding/Python course) and SI 110 (Introduction to Information Studies).
During my internship at Elevance Health, I embarked on a project in which I designed a system aimed at identifying members exhibiting high use of controlled substances or opioid dependency behaviors. Additionally, I developed metrics to assess the success of existing products, discerning trends on a market-by-market basis. Utilizing SQL, I generated standard reports to deliver crucial insights to state agencies. Collaboration was a key aspect of my work, as I actively engaged with stakeholders, programming staff, and business analysts, employing agile and scrum methodology. This collaborative effort ensured the effective development and verification of project requirements, contributing to the successful functioning of systems.
