My name is Dorian Torres, and I am currently enrolled in the Data Analytics Master's program at the University of La Verne. I got my Bachelor's in psychology at Cal State Los Angeles, where I transferred from Pasadena City College. Throughout my first three years at PCC, I thought I wanted to be many things until I got to Cal State LA, where I figured it out. This is why I am pursuing my master's because I want to become a data analyst consultant.
