Q: What lead you to choose the current I/O or I/O related field that you're working in/ passionate about?

Learning how technology is advancing to enable more precise, real-time measurement led me to focus on people analytics where I can answer similar questions with more abundant, accurate, and behavior-based data.

Q: Who at Baruch would you say was the biggest influence on your career, and why?

Dr. Scherbaum taught me through his courses how to think more critically about the data we receive. I’ve already had a few experiences trying to make sense of data. It’s a overwhelming when you receive data with limited context. However, his classes help me be a skeptic and learn new questions to ask to make it seem more familiar.

Q: Tell us about one of your favorite memories during your time in Baruch's program.

One of my favorite memories at Baruch was working with my thesis group trying to figure out our research question and design our study. I had a blast working with my team to figure out what ideas held up in research and deciding what would make the final cut.

Q. What advice would you give to students who are just beginning their time in Baruch's program?

I always revert to Harold’s advice. Get familiar with research methods and core IO psych principle and start reading whatever catches your interest. My career definitely uses a lot of IO psych principles but the difference was being able to speak to all the independent reading and projects I worked on gain new skills. Also, don’t be afraid to question your professor’s judgment and execution of these online courses. They are learning too and need the feedback to make your learning experience better
