About

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Data Science and Psychology at Smith College, I am set to graduate in 2025. My academic journey began at San Mateo High School, where I earned my diploma in 2020. I have gained diverse experience through various roles, including a Research Assistant at Smith College, where I conducted interviews and analyzed qualitative data for the Justice in Schools Project. As a self-employed Language Tutor, I have helped students improve their Mandarin and English skills through personalized online sessions. My internship at CDW involved product management, data analysis, and creating Power BI dashboards. At the Little Lab, I supported developmental psychology research by designing surveys and conducting literature reviews. Additionally, as a Data Science Intern at Wealth Enhancement Group, I utilized R and Excel for data analysis, providing insights into stock trends. My multidisciplinary background equips me with a robust skill set for tackling complex challenges.
