The past 11 years have seen me working in Elementary Education, where I served as a classroom teacher, Reading and Math Specialist, interventionist, and Pre-K Prep Specialist, amongst other roles as the needs in my building and districts changed. Throughout this, I have gained a variety of experience in classroom management, curriculum development, and data collection and analysis, and collaboration.At the same time, I am a professional musician who plays a wide variety of styles and instruments, though my main focus is as a guitarist and vocalist playing original music and Celtic folk. Additionally, I manage both my own solo work and a band, handling all booking, inventory, finances, promotion, and other management duties.I have recently begun the transition into the world of data, completing a Post-Graduate Certificate in AI and Machine Learning: Business Applications at the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin as well as Microsoft Azure Data Engineering certification. I am now pursuing positions in Data Engineering and analysis.
