About
As an undergraduate computer science student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, I am passionate about leveraging technology to advance health equity through the use of data science and biostatistics. My ultimate goal is to use data-driven research and biostatistics to address healthcare disparities affecting Black women and other underrepresented minorities.
Ever since I ran my first “Hello World” command, I have been fascinated by the limitless possibilities of algorithms. I was initially inspired to pursue data science by participating in a data science competition, and I aspire to apply programming to solve real-world problems. I aim to develop my skills in R programming, statistics, and health data analysis. I am committed to building a more inclusive future in healthcare and look forward to collaborating with others who share my vision.
After completing my undergraduate degree, I plan to pursue graduate research focused on data-driven approaches to reduce health disparities. By honing my research experience and advancing my medical knowledge, I will have the tools to make a real-world impact and improve healthcare outcomes for African American women.
