I also serve in the following committees:

Experience with R

I had no experience in R before taking the course BANA 7025 Data Wrangling. It seemed to be a very user friendly program for me so far.

Experience with other analytic software

I worked a little bit with Python. In addition, I know Latex very well. I am using Latex since 2008. I wrote my dissertation using Latex, and I use it to create my in-class exams. After working with R Markdown report, I believe that my Latex knowledge will help me significantly in R.
