In the next year, I would like to continue to collaborate on more projects with relevant professors in the math department. My long-term plan is pursue a doctor degree in applied mathematics.

I am grateful that I majored in Math because, for one thing, it showed me time and time again that it is possible to understand very difficult concepts if you work hard enough to gain such understanding. I am planning on taking a gap year following graduation to work doing data analysis for an insurance company I've been interning with for the past few months. However, truth be told, I'm still not quite sure "what I want to be when I grow up." I've done the math, though, and there's roughly a 90% probability I'll eventually figure something out.

Growing up, I always loved math and was interested in how it could be used to explain various processes in the world around us. This love and interest in math flourished as I dove into the world of mathematical models, simulations, and data, pushing me to pursue my degree in Applied Mathematics while minoring in Computer Science. After graduating, I am planning on attending graduate school to deepen my understanding of data analysis and model building.
