One time, I was working on a group project in college and we were struggling to come up with a cohesive theme for our presentation. Everyone had different ideas and it was causing a lot of tension within the group. I suggested that we take a step back and each write down our individual ideas on sticky notes, then group them together based on common themes or topics.
After doing this exercise, we were able to see that there were some recurring themes that we could build our presentation around. We then had a productive discussion and were able to come up with a solid plan for our project. By using this method of brainstorming and organizing our thoughts, we were able to solve our problem and work together effectively to create a successful presentation.

In my previous role as a Research Analyst at a financial services firm, I was tasked with developing a quantitative model to predict customer churn. The model was intended to help the business identify at-risk customers and implement targeted retention strategies.
The initial model I developed performed well on historical data but struggled to generalize to new data. After thorough investigation, I discovered that the model was overfitting the training data and not capturing the underlying patterns in customer behavior.
To address this issue, I employed several regularization techniques, including L1 and L2 regularization. These techniques penalize the model for having large coefficients, effectively reducing the complexity of the model and preventing overfitting.
Additionally, I implemented cross-validation to evaluate the model's performance on unseen data. Cross-validation involves dividing the data into multiple subsets, training the model on different combinations of these subsets, and calculating the average performance across all combinations. This process provides a more robust estimate of the model's generalization ability.
By applying these techniques, I significantly improved the model's performance on new data. The model was able to identify at-risk customers with greater accuracy, enabling the business to implement targeted retention strategies and reduce customer churn.
Throughout this process, I demonstrated strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. I was able to identify the root cause of the problem, develop and implement effective solutions, and present the results clearly and concisely to stakeholders.
