Di Ye is beginning her senior year studying statistics. She heard about the internship program through an email advertising the program. She is working as a Data Analyst with economics professor Rebecca Thornton. Her project consists of determining how marketing affects parenthood; specifically, she is focusing on the purchase of diapers versus more luxury items such as alcohol and cigarettes. She is analyzing the data she was given to see if there is a relationship between a decline in the purchasing of “luxury” goods and the start of parenthood. Her dream is to go to graduate school next year and then later become a data scientist. Something that she enjoys about the ATLAS Internship Program is how she was able to plan her goals for the semester. She likes the concept of having goals because she thinks it is helpful for her to see her progress throughout the semester. She is planning on continuing this practice in her future endeavors.
