As a member of UT’s Business Analytics Association (BAXA), I participate in weekly Tech Nights where I explore data analysis techniques and machine learning models such as decision trees, regression, and data visualization. Through these sessions, I’ve strengthened my technical skills in applying analytics to real-world business problems while learning how data can drive strategic decision-making. Being part of BAXA has deepened my interest in the intersection of technology and business and helped me develop a more analytical, initiative-driven mindset.
