"I worked as a research assistant to develop a website for their department of communication and disorders. They were really helpful to me and provided me with every resource I asked for and gave me the flexibility of time to work on my time and my pace. They had very specific requirement and they pushed me to my limit to achieve those requirements and at the end I feel that I learned a lot by pushing myself to the limit."

"Northwestern Data Science Bootcamp, I have had the opportunity to collaborate and lead a project with 30 diverse students. Attuning people from utterly different backgrounds could be a big challenge, but I take it as an opportunity to improve my leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. Through this role, I have served as back lead instructor introducing data structures, visualization, Python, JS(D3, Leaflet), SQL, Tableau, API, HTML and AI concepts to support students with in-class activities. Best resources and staffs."

"Northwestern University is certainly a well known and respected institution. Being a university, business can be quite confusing at times due to the environment which is quite eclectic. I believe a lack of cohesive enterprise goal making can cause confusion and lack of career opportunities for non-faculty personnel."
