Nikhil Oommen

Oberlin,OH

Summary

My name is Nikhil Oommen, and I'm an undergraduate Psychology and Economics major at Oberlin College, Ohio. I have a great interest in Psychology and Cognitive Science, as well as Finance and Economics. My goals are to gain experience and the foundational skills needed to build a career in these areas. I'm very interested in both research and organizational psychology, and want to learn more and be involved with human resources or data analysis. I have knowledge of software such as SPSS and Excel, and am a quick learner in any additional programs I may need to pick up.
