Data science is very much a major that doesn鈥檛 exist without other departments. It is in service of whatever client you鈥檙e working for. It is interesting with every different job seeing a different side of an industry or a different side of academics.鈥�

鈥淔rom my anthropology classes, I鈥檝e learned how human experience differs from culture to culture, and even within each culture. From environmental classes, I鈥檝e learned more about what we can do to protect the environment and the people. From my museum education courses and experiences, I鈥檝e learned how important it is to craft the educational experience based on the audience, environment, and intention, to make the greatest impact. The combination of all three has given me the foundation to do this work.鈥�

She helped me look for different externships and internships and opportunities. And she helped me find an externship that I did the summer after my sophomore year at Mercy Medical Hospital in Baltimore. I got to work with a bunch of different nurses in the hospital, learn from nurses and physicians about working together and different specialties, and work with patients and see what it's like working in a hospital.鈥澛�
