Learn About my Passion
In this day and age, data is more important than ever. However, good data is not very accessible to most ordinary folks, so I am a firm believer of well-designed, interactive data visualizations, that allow all people the ability to make their own data driven decisions.
Get to Know Me
Born and raised in Chapel Hill, NC, I have always enjoyed living by a university with all of the academics and opportunities it affords. Now that I attend Duke university I get to fully take advantage of the university perks. I enjoy doing research, teaching, and working on data projects that I am excited by. In the 2019-20 academic year, I worked with a research group that analyzed longterm, whole ecosystem data from the ELA (Experimental Lakes Area) as to best visualize and communicate the crucial environmental findings. Over the summer I interned at Amazon as a software development engineering intern. This fall, I volunteered on a political campaign as a data analyst. Two other undergraduate students and I ran analyses for and strategized with the campaign team in order to best support them. Over the winter I volunteered on the communications and marketing working group with Bluebonnet Data, the organization I volunteered with in the fall. This semester I will be a teaching assistant for two undergraduate classes.
I have experience with both software development and data science. I have also taken several classes pertaining to both, including classes on algorithms, machine learning, data science, bayesian statistics, linear algebra and more. I have participated in several hackathons and datathons, including Duke's datafest where I won best prize for visualization.
