Matt Marcel is an undergraduate student (junior) at the University of Maryland pursing a double major in Criminal Justice and Information science. His education is starting to focus on research studies, how to conduct them, how to analyze them and how to apply them (specifically studies in criminology/policing). His information science background helps sharpen his behind the scenes skills necessary to analyze the data that research studies create, along with some training in design projects. Currently an officer for the Maryland Track and Field club, he has a long history in sports (particularly Track and baseball). His past work experience has been short term, seasonal opportunities but have showed my valuable lessons in teamwork and communication.
