ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Secil!
I am a student, writer, and aspiring data scientist with an interest for the numbers that silently power our world. I strive use my math and computer science skills to make small steps in bettering human-facing services, whether that's through education or health research. Learn more about my work in the research & projects tab, and feel free to check out my blogs!
BASED IN
Wellesley, MA
STUDYING AT
Wellesley High School
GETTING HERE
Since eighth grade, I've been drawn to math and coding above all other subjects. Eventually, I found a clean intersection between the two: data science.
Over time, my appreciation for data science has only grown. I learned that numbers often reveal patterns that words can misrepresent, overlook, or exaggerated. But I also discovered that such numbers are not always objective. In a world of flawed collection methods, systemic biases, and reputational face-saving, data can be twisted or concealed in similar manners.
As an aspiring data scientist with these values, my main goal is to reveal meaningful patterns while considering the biases that might distort them––especially in the fields of education or health science.
It is with these motivations that I created this blog and the projects that come with it.
WHAT I DO
I am a high school student in the class of 2027 with a passion for data science and artificial intelligence. I created this blog to share my projects, research, and thoughts on the latest developments in data science and AI.
Recently, I've been working on improving my classroom application, analyzing data for colorectal cancer research, and developing an AI model to predict sample features based off cancer cells. See my Research & Projects page for more information on these projects––and others.
Outside of data science, I also love reading, playing volleyball, and working as a Mathnasium instructor!
