 ## 🔭 Overview
+
 This repository contains my **undergraduate psychology research project** analyzing the impact of tobacco use on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR).  
 
 It demonstrates **end-to-end data analysis in R** — from cleaning and structuring raw data, to running statistical tests, to publishing results in a clear, reproducible format.  
 
 Originally completed as an academic study, I’ve rebuilt and documented it here to highlight my **technical, analytical, and communication skills** that transfer directly into IT support, automation, and data-driven roles.
