As a senior data analyst at Navigant, much of my time has been centered around predictive analytics, statistical programming, data engineering, data wrangling, assistance with M&A, requirements gathering, data visualization, and reporting (ranging from board reports to operational reports). The main tools used within this role have been Tableau, R, SQL, Excel, Power BI, Python, and Access. The work I’ve done includes predicting loan runoff and simulating pool selections for Derivatives, combining internal data with public NCUA data to show competitor geographical/financial analysis, membership and sales goal forecasting, Branch reassignment, data source integrations (back-end and API), and working collaboratively on data conversion for Mergers. The predictive models I’ve built have utilized different techniques and algorithms including, classification models (e.g. xgboost, logistic regression, random forest, neural networks), clustering (e.g. kmeans, hclust, spatial clustering), time series analysis (e.g. ARIMA, exponential smoothing), actuarial techniques for claims forecasting, and linear+pcr regression.

Fulfilled a long-term substitute teaching position at BHS from the end of December 2018 to March of 2019. I was appointed five classes, four Geometry and an Algebra I. I was able to measure the degree of my success in two ways. Numerically, I could see the average of grades from before and after I got there, while also seeing the changes in specific student’s grades. The other way was much more personal, as I could see how much I could impact a person’s life. Showing these kids that I’m a person just like them, helped form a different bridge. Rather than teacher to student, I wanted a person to person connection.

Interned with the Company during the Summer of 2018 as a Financial Representative. The Company has a simple business model (Security Management), but I still made it a point to show how financial valuation can be foreseen for any new project, or even for the whole Company. I presented to the Owner, all the changes in financial ratios over the years and put emphasis on what's driving some of those forces. I also brought attention to the Company’s Free Cash Flow, and what it means for our financial freedom and longevity.
