Hi! I'm Kyna : )

I am currently finishing my Master’s of Science in Data Science(MSDS) at University of San Francisco. I am also a data science intern at Ubisoft. Prior to that, I graduated with a double major in Business and East Asian Studies at University of Southern California, where I began to be fascinated by the business potential for data in predicting future trends. I enjoy building machine learning models to predict, and I am passionate about data-driven business decision-making.

In my spare time, I love traveling and photography. See my Flickr for some of the photos I took!
