Background

About Riya Sharma

Our lives are filled with stories - both the ones we live and the ones we hear.I have always been fascinated by the power of data to tell compelling stories. That's why I am pursuing graduate studies in Information Systems at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I am specializing in data analytics, data modeling, data mining, and project management. During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to work as a Technical Intern and develop a Customer Data Hub, which showed me the vast potential of data silos and how they can be transformed into valuable insights. I am passionate about creating human-centric, data-driven products that sit at the intersection of technology, people, and business. I have experience working at Deloitte, where I learned how to lead tech teams and deliver complex technologies in a user-friendly way. I am excited to continue honing my business and technical skills in order to create even more effective solutions for people. In my free time, you can find me reading, sketching, writing, discussing international politics, or hearing stories from people. I am always eager to learn and grow, and I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.
