Hi there! I'm Dominika!

I'm a data scientist, and my goal is to introduce girls to data science and programming in a safe and inclusive space! I hope that by being introduced to math and tech skills before college, girls of any background will realize that a career in the tech industry is possible for them. I've worked with hospitals and the public health agency in the Netherlands to model data for clinical trials and co-authored an academic paper about data science methods for ulcerative colitis treatment. I completed my MSc in Statistics & Data Science at Leiden University in the Netherlands and my BSc in Psychology from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. At St Andrews, I received the Principal's Scholarship for Academic Excellence and was on the Dean's List for all four years. My Master's thesis will be published in an upcoming edition of the Journal of Crohn's and Colitis.
