I am both a budding social scientist and aspiring data scientist. At Harvard College, I concentrate in Environmental Science and Public Policy, which has granted me the flexibility to pursue a wide range of study in economics, data science and policy.

I have worked as a Research Assistant at both the Harvard Kennedy School and the School of Public Health. At the Kennedy School, I conducted a literature review of how the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) affected the Appalachia region over the 20th century, while with the School of Public Health, I helped organize an experiment studying how thermal comfort affects productivity. This past fall, I was a Data Fellow at Bluebonnet doing geospatial analysis and data munging for a Georgia State Senate race. Also, I have taken coursework in econometrics, GIS, and classical machine learning. Over the summer. I worked with Code for America’s Boston Brigade on a Flask backend data product.

Therefore, I have writing, editing, research, analytic skills and production experience, as well as a strong attention to detail!

I’m proud of the projects I have completed during my coursework. For one, I have estimated rooftop farming potential in the United States using the Google Project Sunroof api. In another, I worked with a team to predict how thermal comfort affects bike traffic for Boston, MA with sklearn and jnotebooks. Previously, I have created a Shiny web app to visualize predicted net migration in the US caused by climate change. Through these projects, I have grown in my capacity to conduct independent research as well coordinate successfully with team members.

My goal in life is to do good. I believe that my contribution to the world will be using my privilege, skills, and empathy to help solve some of the greatest problems that our society.
