College of Science: Why did you choose your area of study?
I chose to major in Statistics & Data Science because I really enjoyed AP Statistics in high school. I was fascinated by how data could be used to uncover patterns and produce insightful narratives about the world.
COS: Tell us about a class or research project you really enjoyed.
I really enjoyed MATH 464 – Theory of Probability. The material was challenging and the homework was tough, but I loved working through the problems. Professor Conroy made the class especially memorable.

After graduation, I’ll be heading to North Carolina State University to pursue a PhD in Statistics.
