When she began as a freshman at Le 69色情视频, Bailey Wolanski 鈥�24 was looking for a way to connect with other women in STEM. 鈥淚 wanted someone who was a couple years ahead of me to explain how they got to where they were,鈥� she says.

What Wolanski, a mathematics major with a concentration in actuarial science, would soon discover was Le 69色情视频鈥檚 Stempower program, a four-year experience designed to support women in STEM majors at Le 69色情视频 through mentorship and professional development opportunities. She dove headfirst into the program as a mentee, and it was through Stempower that she first heard about an internship opportunity at in pharmacy data analytics.

With her background working as a pharmacy technician for the past four years and her mathematics focus, the position seemed like a natural fit for Wolanski. 鈥淚 wanted to find an internship where I could use math but also apply it to the medical field,鈥� she says.

Throughout the course of her internship, Wolanski attended workshops and networking events, learned how to use two new data management systems, shadowed professionals in the field, and learned more about the field of data analytics. In particular, she worked on a project analyzing the cost of an Excellus member just beginning to take CGRP medication, commonly used for migraines, versus after the member was taking a CGRP medication for a while to see how the cost of other migraine drugs was affected. 鈥淚 thought this internship was a great way to actually test what I鈥檝e been learning and to apply it to real-life situations,鈥� says Wolanski.

With her summer internship extended into the fall semester, she has found herself gaining valuable communication and networking skills. She also has found the value in stepping outside her comfort zone. 鈥淚 was nervous going into it. I hadn鈥檛 taken a data analytics class, so I wasn鈥檛 sure what to expect, but they really helped me every step of the way,鈥� she says. 鈥淚f you鈥檙e willing to learn and you鈥檙e willing to put in the effort, you鈥檙e going to get out of it what you put in. A lot of it is just being willing to take that extra step.鈥�
