Cree Smithers

I am a Master of Science in Analytics candidate at Georgia Tech with a strong quantitative foundation from a B.A. in Mathematics. I apply practical data science and machine learning techniques—Python, sklearn, pandas, R and SQL—to real-world problems, delivering measurable business impact such as improving student acquisition and driving curriculum changes that generated 100+ net new students and increased gross profit.

I have hands-on experience building end-to-end pipelines, extracting information from PDFs into structured databases, and using large language models to create embeddings for downstream analytics. I pair technical execution (ML modeling, imputation strategies, data engineering) with leadership experience managing teams, hiring and onboarding, and performing root-cause analyses to improve conversion and retention metrics.
