Mei Chen is a sophomore studying statistics. She became interested in the ATLAS Internship Program through an email she received from her advisor. Mei is currently utilizing data visualizations in her work as a Data Analyst with economics professor Rebecca Thornton. Her project includes analyzing data from a language program in Uganda and gauging its effectiveness within the student population. She is able to see how effective the program is by seeing if the student’s reading, listening and comprehension skills have improved over time. Mei is really enjoying the work she is doing and wants to continue doing data visualizations in her future! One thing that she says she will take with her from her internship are professional skills, such as how to respond to emails and how to communicate properly with a supervisor.
