S4E10 Daisy Wu: Turning Data Into Decisions

• Mentoring at UofT: Helped students see hidden opportunities (like work-study programs), shaping a mentorship style grounded in practical guidance and empathy.

• Project Coordination at Canada Bread: Learned to simplify data communication by focusing on outcomes, not visuals but answering “So what?” for non-technical stakeholders.

• Adapting Across Projects: Staying curious and doing deep research into each domain helps turn unfamiliar territory into valuable insight.

• Taking a Career Break: Pausing my career to pursue an MBA at Yale was about growing into a strategist who connects data with business impact.
