MS in Business Analytics, Mgmt., Programming

I am a very hard-working student and professional with a heightened sense of ethics and responsibility to both the company that I work for and the communities that we serve. I have always had a special passion for both Mathematics and Business, as a child, adolescent, and now a young adult.  The principal reason for this is the enormous influence that my father has had over my life and its direction. My father is a kind, loving, energetic man who has always taken great delight in supporting his family and giving his all to our future economic security. I could not have been more pleased and convinced that I was making the right decision in my freshman year of college when I declared myself a business major, building upon and putting to good use my first academic love, Mathematics.

I love Mathematics primarily because of its applications for daily life, making a positive impact on the economy, driving development, and making the world a better place to live for everyone. These past several years as a college student I have been completely devoted to my studies and professional opportunities, learning to become a leader, an innovator, and an entrepreneur. XXXX is my first choice for graduate study because of my profound admiration for the way that you incorporate the study of Math directly into the study of business. I feel strongly that I am an excellent candidate for your program because of my solid academic background in data analysis, statistics, enterprise finance, marketing, and other closely related areas. Perhaps most importantly, my skill and foundation in Mathematics is my greatest and most developed personal and professional asset.

Last year, I worked for a 3D printing company as an office assistant. This position helped me to understand the vast and profound importance of collaboration in the work place. Because our company is low on labor resources, I was responsible not only for all accounting tasks but also overseeing online shipment preparation, which required close collaboration with my co-workers as well as the other companies with which we collaborate. If one step of this process is delayed or fails, then the shipments are delayed or even canceled. Thus, I came to quickly appreciate the way in which teamwork and team spirit is so crucial to conducting business, especially online in real time.

In my current position as a Central Service Technician, I prepare all medical equipment for delivery to the appropriate department as rapidly as possible. Working in this fast-paced environment, I have been still further impressed with the central importance of collaboration for task efficiency.

I am also currently taking a Data Analysis class that includes R programming as applied to real world cases. All these projects require critical thinking of what methods can best estimate the model. This class has not only taught me about R programming, which is essential for business analytics, but also train me to be more creative and think outside the box to look for innovation.
