Summary

Senior Psychology and Criminology double major with Data Science and Justice, Law, and Public Policy minors. Although it is not my major, much of my time at Wittenberg has been spent taking Data Science courses. Data Science is my passion, and I have used Psychology and Criminology as platforms to do research and pursue that passion.
