Gina
Data Scientist, Symphony Health
ICON and the summer internship gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my skills as a data scientist to colleagues and upper management. Working with Symphony provides me the chance to learn from my peers and engage in projects that involve problems that are new and challenging, also allowing me to not only grow skills but engage with others within our company, which is always a pleasure. I could excel my career by shadowing and being engaged with various amounts of client projects that expanded my understanding and tools to tackle different analysis.
