Eli Margolis learned to appreciate math at a young age. 鈥淭here was always a right and wrong answer, always a correct way of figuring something out if you searched hard enough,鈥 she reflected.

In her 1B term, Margolis took an elective in actuarial science on a whim. By the end of a semester, she had chosen a career path. 鈥淚 have always had a passion for the statistics side of math, so finding a field that applies statistics to business was a perfect fit,鈥 she said.
As a co-op student in actuarial science for companies like Mercer Canada and BMO Financial Group, Margolis began to master a process that was less black and white than many people realize. 鈥淭he answers you get all depend on the assumptions you begin with,鈥 she explained. 鈥淚t takes a good amount of experience to get a feel for how to ask the right questions.鈥
After she graduates in 2022, Margolis plans to pursue an actuarial role with a consulting company. 鈥淭hanks to my experience at 蓝莓视频 Math, I鈥檓 prepared to enter a field that I love.鈥澛
