🐜 A Bit About Me

I graduated (Fall 2020) from the University of Colorado: Boulder. I received a B.A. in Economics and Mathematics (Statistics Focus) and a minor in Chinese (Mandarin). I started my M.S. in Data Science from the University of Colorado: Boulder early 2023 and am expecting to graduate Spring 2024. I currently work a full-time job, so this whole thing is a weekend project/hobby for me 😊.

🤔 Why Data Analysis/Science?

Like most people graduating college, I had no actual idea what kind of job I wanted to do. I enjoyed Economics, but couldn’t see myself working as an Economist (or getting a PhD either 🙃). After being in the workforce for a bit, I did some serious refection on what parts of my current job I enjoyed, what skills I currently had, and what interested me. Data analysis and data science is something that I think hits all three points for me personally.

🖥️ Why A Website?

I decided on a personal website/portfolio because it is a great way to learn a new skill (I had never built a website before) and to show off my portfolio. When I recently had time off for the winter holiday season, I created the R Shiny Pokémon Dashboard and wanted to show it off. A website was a great way to do so. It’s also weirdly delightful to have my own little personal site on the world-wide-web.

🎏 Interests and Hobbies

Since this is a hobby, most projects are also things I’m interested in. I greatly enjoy the Pokémon franchise and wish I could have my very own Bronzong. My other hobbies include watching TV and YouTube, playing video games when I have time, cooking, and daydreaming about international travel 🛬. I have recently taken up cross-stitching as well.

🪅 But Seriously, Why the Emojis?

If they’re there, I’m going to use them. Who doesn’t want to see cute dinosaurs 🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕
