I love solving problems! That passion led me to get a bachelor's degree in Information Technology & Decision Sciences at University of North Texas. Then I became data analyst at ETC, a tollway consulting company. I really enjoyed digging into the data to uncover the issues and find that "bug"! My last job was with Epsilon, a large data broker firm who was very data driven. Working there made me realize that I want to learn more about business/data analytics. So after I finished a 3-year project to build an internal marketing system one of their clients, Verizon, I decided to go to SMU and get an MS in Business Analytics. I can't wait to put my newly acquired skills to work.

Cong Bi
I am from Northeastern China, where there is a lot of snow every winter. But I have studied and worked at Beijing for already 8 years. Actually, I have transferred my major several times, from Philosophy to Accounting, to Business Analytics now. I just want to discover what life could be in different aspects. I have worked at China Securities Regulatory Commission (China's SEC) for 2 years, and then arrived at Dallas. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
