How to Start A Career in Data Science: My Story

In this video I talk about how I made my transition to leading a team of Data Scientists, from completing a degree in physics to navigating bad advice to self teaching. I talk about how I fell in love with data, taught myself machine learning, statistics, and data science, and navigated my career path to becoming a Lead Data Scientist. I love data and I hope after this video you'll be inspired to consider the same path!
