“I Volunteer with Delta because I value giving back to the community, and doing it alongside people with similar interests. Through volunteering with Delta on its data science projects, I can have a bigger impact by leveraging my existing skills, and improve my professional skills for work. It’s also fun doing something related to your career with people you value as friends, all of which allows me to build up my professional network.
I have worked mostly in the for-profit sector, usually in settings where the success metrics are pretty clear right from the start. When working with Delta's clients, there is less clarity about what the end result should be. The questions are more subjective, which leads to a lot of questions: How should we define key variables and metrics? What graphs will best reflect the data? It was definitely a lot of fun meeting a group of people who I wouldn’t meet through work, and partnering with Delta's clients to make an impact.”
