Research Studies:
While studying to obtain my degree in Human Biology I have performed research studies on sports drinks, biomechanics, and
occupational therapy. To complete these studies I needed to collect, compile, analyze data prior to presenting findings. Study
results were presented as a well composed written article that included charts, graphs, calculations, spreadsheet and written
findings. Most of these research studies were based on findings working with a group.
