I\u2019d originally come to this campus trying to learn more about computer science, but found I enjoy data analysis more. I like going through data because there is always a story, you just have to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Interests and Organizations<\/strong>: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Outside of school I play videogames, lift weights, and spend time with my friends. When I have free time on campus, I\u2019ll either be walking around campus while listening to music or playing board games with the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
