Meet our board members!
Hi! I’m Mariel Canela, from the Dominican Republic, where I did bachelors in Psychology, to share a bit about myself, one of my current main interests is working in Data Science in the Videogame Industry. Some qualities I identify with are helpfulness, honesty and discipline. I’m thrilled about connecting students and professionals in our field through the Young Statisticians!
Hey everyone! I am Eleonora, a first-year student of MSc Statistics and Data Science at Leiden University. Before my current study, I built a background in Political Science and Security Studies. I am very fond of everything data, and I currently work in IT consultancy as a BI developer. In the future, I would be interested in exploring my options in the field of genetics, or perhaps finance; so many options to choose from! I am very excited to be part of the Young Statisticians board, and I look forward to seeing which adventures await us this year!
My name is Elena Petridou and I am from the sunny island of Cyprus. For my Bachelor’s I studied International Relations and Organisations in Leiden, during which I became fascinated by the interaction of statistics, data science and politics. My ideal future career would combine these disciplines, to hopefully make a positive impact on society. I wanted to join the Young Statisticians in order to bring together other people with these same interests, as well as get a closer look into the professional world of Statistics.
Hi, My name’s Miro, I am 24 and from Germany. I did my bachelor’s and master’s in psychology and neuropsychology respectively at Maastricht University. During this time I developed my passion for statistics, first while completing my bachelors courses in statistics and then during my master’s thesis project. In the future, I see myself further exploring the intertwinement of neuroscience and statistics, combining my backgrounds. Outside of university, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, cooking, playing guitar and playing video games. I am super excited to be a part of the young statisticians and connect with people in and outside of the field!
Hey! I’m Bashier Gulzar. During my bachelor in Biology at the university of Utrecht I fell in love with the world of statistics, data science and bioinformatics. Alongside my passion for the field, I have always enjoyed organizing social and educational events for my fellow students. I would love nothing more than to bring this passion to the Young Statisticians and create a welcoming environment where proffesionals and emerging students can connect, learn and build new bridges together.
