We Are IH: Kelowna student analyst loves data science & analytics

Statistical information at Interior Health informs planning, service delivery, and management of health-care services – from population health profiles and facility profiles, to key performance indicators and program patterns.

Dooshima says her love of data science and analytics comes naturally to her.

“My parents always made me play with numbers (arithmetic) while I was young and that grew on me. Later on in life I came across statistics and my love hasn't stop growing for this field of study/career.”

Looking ahead, Dooshima plans to continue learning, advancing in career and education, and gaining a vast knowledge of her chosen field of study, which might help the world or a single life.

“I consider myself a goal-setter,” she says. “I intend to pursue my masters in quantitative and predictive modeling or artificial intelligence in the next few years. Some things may take longer than intended, but I believe that if I keep my faith in God, I can do anything.”

Outside of work, Dooshima enjoys nature walks, running and cooking. She also takes a moment every morning to dance alone in front of her mirror.
