I was born and raised in NYC, but moved to New Jersey for high school. I am a Film and Econ double major, who is a co-captain of Prometheus Fire Arts and one of the fried egg sandwich guys at Usdan Marketplace (you’re welcome)

Abstract: My work for Professor Brunet’s project allows her to track all of the U.S. government’s spending on ships and boats during World War 2. This summer I have done extensive data mining and management of a data set composed of over 190,000 U.S. government war contracts, and sifted out all contracts related to sea vessels. From these properly marked observations, I will create a nationwide map depicting every ship and boat bought by the government during the war effort.
