I am a current student at UC Santa Barbara studying Geography with an emphasis on GIS. This is my first data science class that I have taken, and I have to say it has been a fun challenge. In the future, I hope to attend graduate school and study fire patterns and how firefighters can attack fires quickly. I also hope to study city planning and first responders’ routes. By using R Studio, I can map on a global and city level scale, reading in data and filtering to what is needed. This can greatly help during wildfire season by quickly generating maps with online data sources and links, as well as the fastest routes for firefighters to take.
In my free time I love to read, hike, take boxing classes and surf. I am also on the UC Santa Barbara rugby team and love playing that sport! Here is a picture of myself and some teammates after a huge win in Arizona!
