Bio
Ann Warren
Kar Yan always worked with intelligence and integrity. A quick learner, he saw new tasks as new opportunities. He understood the "why" of what we were doing better than most of his colleagues. Kar Yan has a great sense of humor and was always professional. I so appreciated his ability to think creatively and to come up with solutions when faced with a problem. He was a terrific addition to our team for his professionalism and knowledge, his work ethic, and ability to work well with all of his co-workers.

Kar Yan is one of the finest early data scientists/analysts I have ever met. He enthusiastically jumped into a summer internship with me through the Macalester College Entrepreneurship program (MacNest). He sought out the internship with me originally, I wasn't even looking for an intern. He brought such a passion and commitment to excellence in how he handled data, data cleaning, analysis, and insights. His work helped a non-profit client of mine succeed with their overall analytics program. Kar Yan combines his passion for understanding how data can inform, with his technical skills in R, analysis, Excel, statistics, and business acumen. I valued my time with him so much, that when I thought about the Fall semester and not having him any more...I asked him if he would be interested in doing an internship during school. He did and he excelled at that as well. If you are looking for someone to elevate your data and analytics practice, please reach out to him or me for a recommendation. He has my highest recommendation.
