Home and Resume

This website is a summation of various work I have completed as an undergraduate student at Virginia Military Institute. The three primary chapters are my resume, which is below, my research experience, and finally my internship/volunteer experience. Additionally, there is a stand-alone page that shares a little more about who I am, rather than what I’ve done.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page; please feel free to comment with any questions, or email me at hudsonsi17@mail.vmi.edu
