Irene Chen is a junior majoring in statistics and psychology. She learned about the ATLAS Internship Program while searching online job boards. She is working as a Data Analyst for Dr. John Gallagher, a professor in the English department. Irene is currently performing a variety of tasks as part of her internship, including (but not limited to): text mining, finding descriptive statistics, and analyzing data from Dr. Gallagher's research in social justice proposals. She is considering applying to graduate school for data science, but her options are still open. She enjoyed working with real data, as well as being able to work with team members to troubleshoot issues. One of Irene's favorite experiences at U of I was being able to participate in an exchange program in Bristol, England!
