Elizabeth Ratliff, BS 2019

Writer, Editor and Producer at StatisFlix

How has being a Statistical Science graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Duke Stats always taught me to think outside the box. I do a “sanity check” in all aspects of my life! On a more practical level, I utilize the skills garnered from my degree in all of my content; StatisFlix (my series) is about using data to quantify diversity in movies."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Statistical Science programs?

"Get yourself a coding foundation under your belt as soon you can, and never stop playing with data! Tinkering with code in your spare time will absolutely help you in the long run."
