Thanks to…

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Morrison and Dr. Frazier for their exceptional guidance and mentorship throughout the Senior Independent Study process.

Dr. Morrison’s knowledge and encouragement have been invaluable in shaping my study on the LA Crime dataset, while Dr. Frazier’s role as a great mentor inside and outside the classroom, providing insightful feedback, helped me grow academically and personally.

Thank you, Dr. Morrison and Dr. Frazier, for your invaluable guidance, mentorship, and support throughout my college years.
