I am currently a survey statistician in federal government and former researcher in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. I am looking to volunteer for Data Science projects to further my skills while helping organizations on projects with concrete deliverables. I have experience managing multiple academic research projects resulting in presentations and peer-reviewed manuscripts, as well as contributing to modeling projects with QA and analyses. I would like to gain first hand experience on a wider variety of data science projects including visualization and modeling.
