After graduating from college in Nepal and researching schools in Vancouver, Samata Bajracharya discovered that Langara’s data analytics program was best structured to help her achieve her goals.

She started her work with the Applied Research Centre during her second term and despite having previous work experience, ARC has been a brand-new opportunity for her. The new soft and technical skills Bajracharya has since developed are particularly rewarding for her because they enable her to prepare for the real world and contribute to her schoolwork.

Bajracharya explains, "In the real world, data is rarely perfect. This realization has been pivotal for me to enrich my work experience and enhance my academic projects. It has sharpened my critical thinking skills, teaching me to navigate and interpret imperfect data effectively."
