Not only has Addison-Taylor discovered what areas of math she’s most passionate about, but she’s also had opportunities to use her skills in research and in mentoring other learners.

Addison-Taylor will spend the next two years in the PATH-GDS master’s program conducting genomic research using biology, statistics, and computer science. The opportunity was recommended to her by the program’s lead, Associate Professor of Data Science Programs Joshua French, PhD. “Basically, they take math people and train them to do analysis on DNA and genetics,” Addison-Taylor said.
