Former professional athlete and production consultant with a new B.S. in mathematics from UC Santa Barbara, looking to start a career in a highly technical or mathematical environment. My professional experience has centered around problem-solving and managing teams to produce quality results in high-pressure high-risk environments. For example, as Competition Director for Red Bull’s ”Walk the Line” event in November 2021, I recruited and managed a dozen professional athletes, navigated extensive international travel restrictions due to Covid-19, and coordinated efforts between multiple stakeholders including several dozen production and rigging staff. The event helped bring international exposure to Red Bull. A central part of my role was risk management.General Quantitative Skills▪ Strong data visualization skills▪ Knowledge of advanced statistical techniques and concepts (hypothesis testing, Bayesian statistics, properties of distributions) and experience with applications.▪ Ability to efficiently explore new data sources and assess data gathering techniques.▪ Interest in driving business impact through data, statistics, and algorithmsProgramming Skills: Ability to…▪ Manipulate data and draw insights from large data sets using Python▪ Work with databases and build models using SQL and R▪ Manipulate common data formats, including comma-delimited, text files, and JSON.▪ Transform data and analysis into informative visualizations using open-source and commercially available tools.Business skills▪ Conceptually frame and refine relevant business questions.▪ Frame and scale data problems to analyze, visualize, and find data solutions.▪ Derive insights and analytic narratives from data and visualizations for effective storytelling and clear communication in response to client research questions.▪ Ability to present to technical audiences commanding sufficient subject matter expertise and gravitasPeople skills▪ Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.▪ Curiosity and aptitude to learn new ideas and techniques.▪ Excellent written and verbal communication skills for coordination and communication.▪ Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively.▪ Flexibility, initiative, and ambition to succeed in an ambiguous and fast-paced environment
