Arielle Davis

As a fourth-year Statistics major, Arielle Davis, blends elements of STEM and Humanities Research. She enjoys learning about statistics but, also has a background in creative writing. During her time at UCLA, Davis picked up a minor in African American Studies and collaborated on an Emmy nominated video series about poetry. Her writing experience is what inspired her Keck project, a fictional anthology of short stories that illustrate intersectional perspectives on the treatment of Black people in the United States. This book will touch upon less popular subjects, like life as a Black Republican and healthcare accessibility for Black households, with a narrative that is informed by patterns and themes from focus group interviews, expert interviews, and historical document analysis. Davis hopes to further define what it means to be a Black American with her project. Going forward, Davis will continue to carve a space for creatives with analytical minds as she begins her career in data science.
