I am going to be learning python using DataCamp and want to vlog the learning process. I hope this can be interesting both from an actuary learning python perspective and from a woman in stem perspective. I guess you also get the over 30 learning python perspective as well.

Heyy l need help with actuarial valuations
Thank you for this video ! It was so easy to understand. And very informative.
Day to day? Not much math.
I am two and a half minutes in and you still haven't started talking about anything that no one talks about.
Im so glad you have people to discuss actuarial topics with. You're very blessed to already know these things. Very ahead of the curve 😊
You're absolutely doing something wonderful for the world and you should be proud of it! Don't sell yourself short!
Youre very sweet, thank you
Just passed my second exam earlier today, and your channel is the reason why i decided to take a leap and start working on the actuarial path. I was never the most consistent viewer, but thank you for all your videos! Finding your channel gave me the motivation to get started when I was hesitating.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
If you put some lipstick on you would look so much like the actress Isla Fisher
I'm so happy for you. Congrats and thanks for being so vulnerable. You're so funny.
Thank you 😊
@@Actuaryelle Can we see videos from the wedding or at least pics of your dress? If you don't mind ofcourse. Thenx already.
Number of exams you've passed. Okay.
Wow. She encourages me a lot. Am an Acturial science student in Kenya. Acturial science 😅
I Michelle! As a healthcare student who is considering a career in actuary, I heard so many healthcare professionals such as physicians and dentists complain that insurance is "evil." Can you please explain this myth in your next video if you have a chance? I truly appreciate it! Thank you!
If you're in the US, agree. The whole health care system there seems horrible and evil
Hi Michelle, thanks for your videos. Is machine learning / AI used in reserving nowadays? Could this (partially) replace/enhance traditional reserving methods? Do you see other fields in actuarial work where machine learning / AI plays an important role (in the future)?
Can you give me an estimated annual income for actuary?

@@Actuaryelle thank you
Blessings on your marriage. :)
Check out Cal Newport! He's written several books about the kind of burnout resulting from the kinds of work situations you describe!
Oh my! an aspiring Actuary here, so excited I have found your channel!. What determines the ultimate value? is it when the claims are closed?. Is it possible to use insurance data e.g from Kaggle (which close to the real life projects) to show the Actuarial techniques?, It would be immensely helpful to those joining the profession.

can you share what degree you had to pursue to be an actuary
I have a BSc in Actuarial Mathematics
Got it
I have a question! I think I heard you say in a different video that you believe insurance is fundamentally good (correct me if I'm wrong), but I would love to know why! People typically have a negative connotation of insurance, so I would appreciate your perspective!
Heyyyy, future actuary here (hopefully) , Comment section, do you have any advice on goe to write a personal statement for actuarial science or mathematics or books that i should read to put on my personal statement.
End of April? Not March? 1:18
🙈🙈 end of March
@@Actuaryelle I thought for a second maybe things are different in Canada to account for year end or tax season or something
Wow you have so many responsibilities 😍😍
Get back to work
I have never related SOOOO much with a video 😭😭😭❤️❤️ Speaking as a qualified actuary living and working in the UK i am also struggling with a lack of passion and purpose. I don’t hate actuarial but sometimes I wish i hadn’t qualified soo early because i now feel lost and like I’m in a second quarter life crisis. But I know it will be ok, We will find ourselves again 🧡
I hope you find something that fuels your soul ❤️❤️
Love ur channel. I’m a failed actuary btw :(
Failed in what way?
Failed FM twice and decided to call it quits and pursue a different career.
hi Michelle, just wanted to comment that these types of videos are super interesting and your explanations are clear and engaging. As an aspiring actuary, I find them valuable since they give me a lot of context :) And Congratulations on the engagement!!!
Youre so sweet thank you 🥰
How is actuary profession going to be influenced by LLM/AI ?
Thus far, we arent allowed to use it at work, but I know there's a pilot with a small group of employees to try it out
Please keep posting!! I recently discovered your channel and I’ve been loving it!
Aw thank you for watching 🥰

Three videos in a week? Will there be a 4th soon or will you disappear for the next 6 months?
I think we both know the answer to that question 👻
You are a lovely actuary! Congrats on your engagement!
Thank you 🥰
Randomly stumbled upon this, loved watching your video!

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE LOOKED GUYS UP ON LINKEDIN
It's the only reason I keep linkedin 😂
I'd date you
That sounds very lonely
tldr; actuarys be crazy
We prioritize 😂
long time no see but def agree on the LinkedIn part
It's the best use of LinkedIn, for sure
You look like you are a handful, but worth the effort.

Nope, not considering a job; I'm just curious about the world.
Short question. You said as a reserving actuary you are not impacting the profit of the company. If I understand the alm of an insurance company correctly, the investments in earning assets depend on the amount of reserves. So in that way, the profits are impacted. But I am not in insurance industry (yet), would be nice if you explain the link between reserves and investments. Thank you
You are correct. When I was referring to profit, I mostly meant underwriting profit. The reserve levels impact the amount of capital that we are required to hold. It also impacts how much we pay for reinsurance etc. There are definitely impacts from the conservatism (or under-estimating) in reserves. Good point
@@Actuaryelle Interesting. So it is different from banking. The amount of capital a bank is required to hold depends on the asset classes, i.e. the risk associated with the type of an asset.
Last year I ended up watching your channel last minute to prep for my 'Insurance' exam, but I actually keep enjoying your content. Keep it up, Elle! Wish you all the best from Belgium
Thank you so much for watching 🥰🥰
How do you think reserving and pricing techniques can be migrated to other forms of business e.g a restaurant or a trailor making business? Essentially how can Actuaries sell themselves apart from relying regulatory requirements to enforce our existence?
Thanks for your content! Does everyone have to do an internship? I am an adult learner changing my career and I'm not sure if I can go back to an internship (I'm thinking unpaid).
Not mandatory, but it helps students get experience. In Canada, actuarial internships are paid, which is nice
Where is the QnA 😢
Filmed 3 videos today. This one was the shortest and therefore the first to get edited 😅
That's a nice engagement ring you've got there
I'm a lucky lady
As a representative of your male audience, which is 75% of the whole audience, I want to thank you for cool entertaining video.
Hi Elle, as an aspiring actuary, I love your videos! I just watched one of your first ones where you mention you passed all your exams in a little over five years. I'm 20 and I just passed FM in February. I think it would be really awesome to be a fellow by the time i'm 25-26. Was just wondering how hard that was? Did you have hardly any free time or were you still able to go out and do things? Thanks!
Stopped at "privilege"
Very fair 🤣
How much human interaction do you have to do as an actuary? I like working alone and cannot deal with toxic people, so what are interactions like?
