1). Name two core competencies I am most skilled with or most familiar with from the list. Where and how did I gain the skills/become familiar?
I am good with data conversion and interoperability and data preservation. I learned the skills of data conversion through my use of a mac and pc and having to transfer different programs and files between the two, where it isn't as simple as just emailing the file. For example .exe works on macs, but .bat doesn't. Yet it works fine on windows. I have less experience with Linux. I gained the skills of data preservation through my own research over the last few years trying to figure out the best way to protect my photos from over the years in a format that would work in the future and in a place they would be safe.
2). The core competencies I want to know more about.
I want to know more about the discovery of data, specifically on knowing what data is actually relevant and what is not. I also want to learn more about Data Management and Organization since I don't know how it works at all.

- Name two of these core competencies are you most skilled with (or which is most familiar to you)? Where and how did you gain the skills/become familiar?
The two core competencies I am most familiar with are data preservation and data analysis. In regards to data preservation, I am familiar with saving and organizing data properly through tools such as excel. I have had to do this for many lab courses, so I've learned about it through training and practice. For data analysis, I am familiar with looking at data and finding patterns. I've learned this through school work, such as labs and math courses, which allowed me to work with different types of data.
- Name two of these core competencies that you want to know more about? Why?
Data curation and re-use is something I want to learn how to manage data well from start to finish. Knowing about data curation will teach me how to organize, maintain, and save data properly. Also, it will help me understand how to make data usable again, which is important for better data management. I know little to nothing about data curation and reuse. Data analysis is also something I would like to know more about. By learning different analysis methods, I can find important information in complex data.
