Led a team of four students to investigate the impact of social media activism on police brutality trends, specifically analyzing the correlation between Twitter sentiment surrounding Black Lives Matter (BLM) and police-related deaths of people of color.Extracted and processed over 2 million tweets using a Twitter API in Python, focusing on tweets with key BLM hashtags. Developed a robust dataset by categorizing sentiment and one-hot encoding data.Conducted Pearson and Spearman correlation tests on the dataset, which showed a weak positive correlation between BLM-related Twitter activity and incidents of police brutality, suggesting increased activism did not correlate with a decrease in police violence. Documented findings in a Jupyter Notebook, maintained all code on GitHub for version control and created a presentation with visualizations of results.

It's about the little things! As the front office desk assistant, I provided maintenance to the office to enhance the residential environment. My tasks such as inventory taking, preparing bulletins and memos, and operating business machines allowed faculty to focus on their priority responsibilities without having to attend to smaller, but essential, tasks. My role gave me the opportunity to foster relationships with residential students and provide assistance with IDs, moving in, and general questions.

It's all about community! As a residential assistant, I fostered relationships with 60 diverse university undergraduate students, including first year and international students. In order to foster a sense of connection to Revelle College, I planned and implemented five programs per quarter thatencompassed topics related to interpersonal and intrapersonal relationship growth, academic performance, social justice engagement, and safe and healthy life-style choices. During my time in this role, I also learned to mediate resident conflicts, to counsel students during intrapersonalconflict, and to facilitate discussions on current issues. I also developed ideas, themes, and visuals for marketing of campus events!
