Aubrey Cooper

I am a junior at Ouachita Baptist University, where I am studying mathematics and communications with a sports media emphasis. My academic interests reflect both my analytical mindset and my passion for clear, engaging communication. I enjoy combining logical problem-solving with creative expression, and I am especially interested in how data, storytelling, and media connect.

In addition to my coursework, I have experience with coding, which has strengthened my attention to detail and ability to approach complex problems in a structured way. My background in communications has also helped me develop strong interpersonal skills and confidence in sharing ideas with different audiences.

I am known for being organized, dependable, and responsive. I work well under deadlines and take pride in managing my time effectively while maintaining a strong work ethic. I approach responsibilities with focus and consistency, whether working independently or as part of a team.

Mathematics

Throughout the years I’ve gained experience in code breaking, matrix analysis using differential equations, and mathematical proofs.

With my experience in coding I have worked with Java, JavaScript, and Swift to code projects that preform calculations, create interactive games, flowing interactive designs, and model real-world scenarios like banking.

Media

Through the Ouachita Sports Digital Network at OBU, I’ve gained experience doing camera work and audio for football, soccer, basketball, and baseball.
