Meet Elisa Cascade

“I started at the University of Michigan, thinking I would go on to medical school, but I was so interested in economics that I ended up making it my major. After I graduated as a pre-med economics major, I realized healthcare consulting was a perfect fit for both of my interests and kept my options open for graduate training – business or medical school. That pivotal moment for me occurred when a mentor asked me ‘Do you like the idea of actually providing healthcare to patients or analyzing healthcare data?’ I thought long and hard about this, and being a closet data geek, ultimately chose healthcare data – I’ve loved working in this area ever since."
