Weihua Li MPS ’11 always loved numbers and data, particularly the applied side – taking messy data and transforming it into meaningful insights. 

“That’s how I chose statistics. I wanted applied work,” Li said. “I always wanted to get a job.” 

That passion ultimately led her to Cornell University and to Statistics and Data Science’s Master of Professional Studies (MPS) program in applied statistics.
