As a recent graduate in Applied Data Science from The Pennsylvania State University, I bring a strong foundation in data analysis, machine learning, and programming languages including R, Python, Java as well as HTML. My passion for data science is complemented by my unique minor in Jazz Guitar Performance, which has honed my creativity and problem-solving skills.During my time at Penn State, I've had the opportunity to work on several notable projects. One of my key projects involved developing a web-based application to aid lung cancer patients using machine learning algorithms for predictive analysis. This project required not only technical skills but also the ability to negotiate data policy terms with high-value healthcare companies.In another project, I utilized Spotify's Million Playlist data set to determine the ideal length of holiday-themed music playlists for shopping centers. This project was aimed at minimizing licensing costs and improving customer satisfaction.Currently, I'm working as a Data Science Research Assistant at Penn State Innovation Hub, where I'm responsible for organizing data, conducting scholarly research, and collaborating with national health organizations.I'm a highly motivated individual with excellent communication abilities, seeking positions in the data science field where I can apply my skills and continue to learn and grow.
