Hi, I’m Anastasiya! I am a second year studying Cognitive Science and Data Science. I’m really excited to tutor DSC 20 this quarter, because this class, although challenging, taught me a lot and I’ve been able to use the skills from this class on outside projects. Outside of class you will probably see me in the ceramics studio, reading or sight-seeing. Come to office hours, you won’t regret it!
