## About

```text
At Virginia Tech, I assisted students in NeuroLab 2 with collecting data and analyzing it in Excel. I also used EEGs and Minitab to measure beta waves during a double-blind coffee study.

In the lab, I used reverse pipetting to create gram stains on rodent brain neurons and observed fruit fly behavior under different light colors. I also studied crickets’ behavioral and neurological reactions to different substances.

At the VT Deloitte Spring Data Competition 2021, I modeled COVID-19 transmission trends and case numbers across the United States using Tableau and PowerBI. The project placed second.

I earned a B.S. in Computational and Systems Neuroscience from Virginia Tech. My coursework included statistical methods, computational modeling and data analytics, and neuroscience.
