Summary

Strong interest in opportunities in data science or business analytics. As an incoming sophomore at Rutgers University, I am pursuing a double major in Cognitive Science and Data Science (Economics track), and I am excited to apply my skills, passion, and creativity to a real-world environment where I can learn, contribute, and grow.

Throughout my academic journey, I have taken courses in data analysis, programming, statistics, economics, and psychology—giving me a strong interdisciplinary foundation. I have experience in Java and am currently expanding my knowledge in Python. I’ve also developed a solid understanding of calculus, linear algebra, macroeconomics, and microeconomics. These subjects have sharpened both my analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

What drives me most is the opportunity to use data and technology to help others. I am passionate about contributing to meaningful work and making a positive impact. I approach challenges with creativity, patience, and a deep willingness to learn. I am organized, dependable, and adaptable—qualities that I believe are essential in any team setting.

While I’ve gained knowledge through coursework, I am now seeking an internship where I can apply that learning, observe professionals in action, and take on real-world tasks—even in a small or shadowing role. I am open to unpaid opportunities and am excited to contribute in any way that supports your team while helping me gain practical experience.
