As a research assistant for the High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety (HICAHS), I gained hands-on experience working with large datasets. My primary focus was on organizing and analyzing data in R Studio to examine the relationship between agricultural tasks and cardiovascular load among crop workers. This work not only allowed me to refine my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of how data can be harnessed to address significant health and safety issues. Additionally, I plan to participate in the Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creativity (CURC) to connect with fellow students, share my research findings, and gain valuable feedback from the academic community.
