Starting out in the business field, Juli obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Banking and Finance from Epoka University (Albania) in 2020. She then discovered a great interest in Data Science and reoriented herself towards this field by pursuing a Master’s degree in Statistics and Data Science at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven).

Her thesis was focused on powerful model-free variable selection in the context of discrete response models. During her studies, Juli has also been a core member of a Data Science & AI student organisation, where she sourced and managed various student consulting projects to aid the development of the participating students’ practical skills in the field. She has also participated in hackathons, claiming a few prizes.

After graduating from her master studies in 2022, Juli joined B12 Consulting in November 2022 as an Analyst Developer. In her free time, she enjoys reading, going second-hand shopping, trying out new activities, and spending time with friends over a coffee or drink.
