Responsible for providing support to clients in answering their inquiries about our services or status updates on their requests and handling complex transaction instructions daily.Research client financial positions and update records to ensure consistent bookkeeping and prompt assistance with inquiries and product questions.Provide input on process changes to improve efficiency to handle variable instruction volume, document those processes, and train new team members on our processes, as well as company and industry best practices.

I maintain the current codebase for our package manager written in POSIX shell, ensuring that it remains portable and passes shell standards. I am responsible for maintaining and implementing bug fixes, and verifying that patch submissions adhere to our guidelines and standards.I am responsible for maintaining the package repository for KISS Linux. This includes tasks such as ensuring patches are up-to-date or submitted to and triaged with upstream developers, complying with strict packaging guidelines, and verifying consistent operation within a sanboxed build environment.I am responsible for the infrastructure surrounding the distribution, including git- and fossil-based repository mirrors and mailing lists to decentralize our processes to become more self-sufficient. I vet documentation to ensure clarity and specificity to our distribution, and work with the larger community to provide accurate and helpful support to users.In addition to the core infrastructure, I maintain the distribution’s support for the K Desktop Environment, the Haskell compiler, the static version of our root filesystem distribution archive, and a Wayland-only variation. I also built the infrastructure and tooling for our package mirrors and mail server on the distribution itself.

My position is primarily as the individual closing the store down for business most days. As a result, I am the point of contact between our customers with our store and district manager, as well as our community's daily team. I regularly update inventories of merchandise to ensure proper handling of sales and returns and improve efficiency by reducing food waste and monitoring product usage to ensure we order enough of all of our products.Our shift supervisor team has been working to coach our partners better in more closely serving our customers and have improved our customer satisfaction score by over 50% in the last two quarters, now leading the district in both speed of service and customer connections.

I tutored at three different locations on Michigan State University's campus, building a rapport with students and regularly working with small groups of undergraduate students to build study groups and improve teaching effectiveness and enable group problem solving. Focusing primarily on single and multivariable calculus, I have strong experience with a variety of methods of integration and differentiation, surface and line integrals, and other topics germane to multivariable calculus and differential equations.I frequently led break-out sessions in which I took large groups of students into a secondary room to lead a 'mini recitation' on a comprehensive and difficult set of problems, including convergence and divergence of sequences and series and the primary methods we focused on in the curriculum for determining these facts, as well as phase diagrams for solution sets to systems of differential equations and the fundamental solutions to such systems.

I supervised two of the six mathematics learning centers on Michigan State University's campus. I led up to twenty three tutors and helped them tutor effectively and efficiently within our local neighborhoods. I was also available for tutoring more advanced mathematics courses and met regularly with other MLC supervisors for leadership advice, tutoring strategies, and team building.In my introduction to this position I led the smallest neighborhood center at the university, and used the opportunity to deploy a new tutoring methodology of small group tutoring that our coordinator was pushing all centers to institute. With the size of the room we had and the number of students we had in attendance per class, this worked very well for us and the center continued to utilize the structure we had developed until it was eventually merged with another small center nearby.My final role in this position was leading one of the busiest centers on campus, located in the 'engineering dorm'. We catered primarily to multivariable calculus and differential equations courses as a result. A large portion of my time was spent as a coach to my tutors to brief them daily on what questions to expect for each course and how to handle some of the trickier concepts involved, generating quick reference guides and other useful material for tutors to fall back on. As a result, we maintained a thriving and large group of regular engineering students throughout the semester, from day one leading all the way up to their final exams.

I led fifty-minute small-size recitations weekly for multiple mathematics courses including College Algebra and Precalculus, and was given the rare opportunity as an undergraduate to do so for Calculus I and Calculus II. I was responsible for reviewing lecture materials, identifying confusing concepts for my students, hold regular reviews in preparation for examinations, as well as facilitating group work and coming up with my own material to cover. Additionally, I graded weekly quizzes, as well as proctored and graded their exams.As a learning assistant for Calculs II, my sections had a 30% higher average score than other sections that semester. This higher performance resulted in an average of a half-letter grade score higher than other sections at the end of the semester.As a teaching assistant for Calculus I, I received the Mathematics Department’s Undergraduate Learning Assistant Award for Excellence in Teaching, in recognition of my continued involvement in undergraduate education and service to the Mathematics Department as an undergraduate learning assistant.

Worked with philosophy professor Michael O’Rourke on a funded project to answer the question of where articles about interdisciplinarity – the process of working in diverse, multidiscipline and crossdisciplinary fields - are published. A myriad of techniques were used in organizing our thesis and providing support for it, including textual analysis of a large cross-section of paradigmatic papers and keyword search term generation to compile a list of relevant articles from multiple journal databases. With an actionable thesis and a reliable methodology, we were able to demonstrate our claims with reasonable evidence by reducing the number of false positives created by our process, creating a defensible argument for the goal of our project.I presented our findings in a poster at the Science of Team Science Conference in Phoenix, Arizona in May 2016, generating a large amount of interest in our work.
