Ángela Brito
Growing up, I developed a strong passion for STEM. It was clear to me that I wanted to study something in this field at university. When it came time to choose, I was aware of the growing importance of data in society, which is why I chose the Bachelor in Data and Business Analytics. This was the best fit for me to continue developing my quantitative skills while also exploring my growing interest in tech.
