Certificate
Not only did Sambhavi Parajuli’s project
“Prediction of survivability rate of breast
cancer patients” enable her to earn an
Analytics: Optimizing Big Data Certificate
in December 2016, but it played a major role
in helping her land a job with Delaware Health
and Social Services (DHSS) as an analytics
consultant for IBM Watson Health.
As a final requirement for the certificate,
students apply the concepts and techniques
learned throughout the course to a case study
project, which incorporates the use of a
current data problem they would like to solve.
Having lost her father to leukemia, Parajuli
knew she wanted to work on something
related to cancer.
She brought a printout of her work to the
interview and the hiring team was impressed.
The interviewer went through the presentation
and, although he said she would hear back in
a month, Parajuli received a call the next
morning and was hired.
“I am enjoying my job because it is all about
healthcare data,” said Parajuli. “I really enjoy
working with data, going deep down and
analyzing it.”
A native of Nepal, Parajuli came to the United
States in 2012. Her family moved to Delaware
in 2015, and she was ready to re-enter the
workforce after taking some time to raise her
son and daughter. Seeking to enhance her
skills, a Google search took her to CIO.com,
which listed UD’s program as one of 19 big
data certifications that will pay off.
“All three of the instructors were very good,
and I really liked them,” said Parajuli. “I am
definitely implementing what I learned at
UD into my work. I have recommended the
program to some of my friends.”
