Hi, my name is Malika. I'm a rising junior at Smith College. I'm double majoring in quantitative economics and statistics and data sciences. I have experience with interning at a commercial bank in Kazakhstan, at a data engineering intern and data science intern. And in my free time, I have been coding a lot with Cloud to fulfill my projects in quantitative finance, so using different models and figuring out things. Yeah, so I'm looking for roles at the intersection of finance, data science, and product management. And yeah, in my free time, I do fencing. I run professionally also. I went to TypeBridge Business Program. It's an MBA-style program held in the Type Business School at Dartmouth. And I've done quite a lot of Wall Street prep certificates. Since Smith College is a liberal arts college, so I'll just try to supplement with financial certifications. Yeah, so, like, yeah, that's me. Yeah, I would say I'm open for data science, some financial roles, or product management, so those three.
