I'm originally from Italy. I moved here after high school. Here is the only place I lived besides Italy and I've been here for about seven years. I really like Utah and I like the outdoors. I go skiing and I like hiking. I started climbing last summer so that's kind of the things that I do like to do here.

At the moment, I'm taking about eleven and a half credit each semester of my master . I would say for a master program, the workload is what you would expect so it's not like a walk in the park but at the same time it's not impossible. It is very challenging which I would say people would expect it to be, but it's doable which it makes me feel good about myself when I do accomplish something very well because it was not something that was just given to you or it's like part of your hard work. It's very rewarding to me but it is a lot of work. This is my last semester. I've been kinda targeting my classes towards the analytics part of the classes offer for the masters. This specific semester, I took introduction to business analytics. I'm taking a Six Sigma course. I'm doing a special study with Doctor Jung Ho and then I'm taking Emerging Technology and then my capstone. This semester is a little bit weird as classes way but my last semester is where it was slightly more focused on the analytics part because I took statistic and predictive analytics and I took the data mining courses. They're both like data mining and advance data mining. Now I'm kind of trying to focusing more on the outcome of that, how to present it. I'm doing a special study on to blog with Professor Jung Ho because they never used it before and I thought it was very useful for me to learn a way to show what I'm doing in the modeling part. I found that very useful.

I did my undergrad in Information Systems from the U, and it felt like it kind of just touched on a lot of argument, that it wasn't going too deep in and I don't have any background on this. It was very kind of uncomfortable going to find a job into something that I just know on the surface. I thought by doing my Masters, it was giving me better confidence in a field that I have no knowledge about. I thought it was like the perfect opportunity for me to boost my confidence and gain more knowledge into something that I find very interesting. No, I never changed my major.
