Jayaana Pant

As an aspiring data scientist, I am currently a sophomore CMDA (Computational Modeling and Data Analytics) major at Virginia Tech with a special interest in statistics and software design. At 19, living between India and Dubai with an American Passport has exposed me to amazing career and learning opportunities that have helped me hone my coding and business skills.
