7+ Years Making STEM Click | MA Psychology

Zariah T.

Data Science

I hold a Master’s in Developmental Psychology with coursework in Quantitative Methods and a Master’s in Innovation and Management with a graduate certificate in Applied Statistics. In my research, I used machine learning methods to analyze large datasets and uncover meaningful patterns. As a statistics consultant at UC Riverside, I helped graduate students with data analysis, R/Python programming, and interpreting results. Now, as a Product Manager, I use data-driven insights to build and improve software products. With over seven years of tutoring experience in statistics and data science, I help students gain confidence and apply data skills to real-world problems.
