12-week, 60+ hours per week course in data scienceWe learned the fundamentals of the data science research process and data management in preparation for deploying numerous types of machine learning. We learned how to build and evaluate a myriad of machine learning techniques, including linear/logarithmic regression, natural language processing, LSTMs, CARTs random forests, and neural networks.I completed a capstone project that focused on projecting outcomes of the 2016 election using a wide range of socioeconomic and political data. The model used advanced machine learning classification tools to predict the outcome of each election. I also had valuable introductions to other programming skills: SQL, Scala, Spark, AWS, Tableau, TensorFlow.

I managed budgeting, development, and production of proposals for 100+ policy research contracts. Regularly collaborated with senior management, researchers, and business staff on each stage of proposal development and production. For my personal development projects, I focused on process improvement. I led one initiative to improve proposal group management and strategy for state contracts. I also developed and maintained new system for storing contract data. In my last year, I coordinated with another division to improve group proposal management.

I performed a range of editorial tasks, including proofreading, copyediting, and fact checking, as well as contributing to topic selection and article structure. Beyond that, I conducted in-depth research using web sources, public documents, and policy studies. I also wrote news pieces and blog entries for the organization's blog, including one that was picked up by national news outlets.I was on staff during and immediately after the 2012 election and therefore had the opportunity to be part of a research and editorial team as we analyzed and addressed major news events.

I was a Head Tutor for Mathematics and Economics. I tutored students one-on-one several times each week, and hosted my own drop, managing several students in different classes at once. As a Head Tutor, I also coordinated with professors on schedules and curriculum details. I used that information to design review materials and lead exam review sessions for up to 100 students.
