Tanja did her undergraduate degree in Mathematics and a Minor in Physics at Augsburg University in Germany. She now finished her graduate studies in Statistics at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan Campus. Her previous work has been mostly working in computer oriented statistics, data analysis and information visualization. At the BC Cancer Agency, she looked at risk factors for breast cancer and building a predictive model for breast cancer risk.
