My name is Sydney Lim and I graduated in 2018 with a major in Technology and Operations Management with an emphasis in Operations and a minor in Organizational Communications.

During my time at CPP, I interned at a nonprofit called KIPP LA Schools as a Development Intern where I integrated SQL and Tableau to build fundraising reports so I can analyze consumer behavior. After graduating, I worked at Canvas Worldwide under the Hyundai account for about 2 years which gave me a unique opportunity to not only be a data analyst, but also a data engineer since I had to develop ETL operations.

HBOMax as an Analyst, Marketing Analytics. I help translate complex data into actionable insights through storytelling dashboards and visualizations, while working with the engineering team to ensure proper data flows, and partnering with media teams to provide clear strategic recommendations.
