In addition to my roles and responsibilities as a project manager for our consulting practices, one of our newer project managers reports to me.

I manage scope, budget, and timeline on projects for our Application Development, Data, and Infrastructure practices, adhering to agile methodology. I also perform Business Analysis and QA Engineer functions, sitting between technical and business teams to write user stories, create UX/UI mockups, and help clients understand how to use their data.

I managed the implementation of an org-wide PSA tool and served as its internal product owner for our team. I backlog and prioritize organizational improvements, manage implementation of these improvements, and work across teams to help the organization deal with challenges that don't fall clearly into a predefined role definition.I have created content for our social media posts and assisted with marketing efforts, managing our marketing intern along the way.I am currently leading a small team to build internal and external reporting packages for an initiative we are calling Delivery Insights. This involves consolidating, cleaning, integrating, and automating several data sources and building reports and dashboards for our executives and practice leads as well as status reports for our clients.Essentially, my job is to make everyone else's job easier!

I learned and worked all three mezze stations (cold, fry, and hot) at Zahav, a modern Israeli restaurant in Philadelphia and James Beard Award winner.

After a year at LUXTECH I transitioned from inside sales to product management. I worked across our departments to take bring new product lines to market. I collaborated with our team, customers, and suppliers to find product-market fit for new concepts and to support existing OEM component lines.

I managed all 18 of our current product lines and added .I was responsible for maintaining min-max programs for our stocked products, planning new launches, supporting our sales force, helping our ops team to integrate products into our supply chain, and more. I designed the Product Development Lifecycle for the company along with the processes to support and end of life our products once they are out on the market. I developed the product team strategy each year and aligned it with LUXTECH's vision.During my first year as product manager, I helped increase our standard product revenues by 5x and launched two products and a new technology capability for our custom design program. During the second year, standard product revenue doubled again and we launched three new products. Show less

My first role at LUXTECH was inside sales. I helped our existing customers-- typically mid- to high-volume light fixture manufacturers-- design new LED modules. I initiated and priced new projects and served customers throughout this process, creating initial circuit design, models, drawings, and spec sheets. I assessed order history to make sales predictions and design custom stocking programs.

I assessed order history to make sales predictions and design custom stocking programs. I managed first article assembly and other key production builds, executing functions including supply chain design, setting operations and engineering timelines, and communicating with our customers and collecting product feedback. I also provided general customer service, fielding both technical and operational questions to help with product operation and installation and order fulfillment and delivery.During my year in inside sales, I helped double existing account revenue and helped add 200+ unique part numbers to our custom catalog.

Venture For America is a selective (18% acceptance) two-year entrepreneurship fellowship that serves to create economic opportunity in American cities. VFA Fellows complete intensive training and commit to spending two years working at a high-growth company in an emerging startup ecosystem.

I worked on nuclear physics experiments throughout school year and summers. My contributions include work on the Bethe-Heitler Measurement, an experiment examining energy asymmetries of positrons and electrons during matter-antimatter (pair) production. I tested and repaired two hodoscope detectors composed of 58 photomultiplier tubes each and assisted in designing and constructing target area of experiment.I also worked to help confirm the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn Sum Rule for 6 and 8 MeV… Show more I worked on nuclear physics experiments throughout school year and summers.

I analyzed missing mass data from photon-proton collision simulations using C prior to experiment and repaired and tested 6 liquid scintillator cells and photomultiplier tubes for the Blowfish detector.

At InvisionHeart, I tested hardware and software and developed test procedures and equipment used in the manufacturing of the company's ECG devices. I trained employees in FDA Quality Management requirements, interfaced with suppliers, and assembled the company's pilot run of its devices.

At Duke, I aided the construction of the HIGS Frozen Spin Target system. We successfully cooled the Gamma beam target to 0.7 Kelvin using a dilution refrigerator. I tested, repaired, and modified the vacuum-insulated Helium-3 and Helium-4 circulation systems and analyzed flow rate and temperature data from circulation systems using Bash scripts and C.

I refurbished four large wire chamber particle detectors for use in Bethe-Heitler measurement and built and tested a data acquisition system with scintillator detectors. I also worked on small electronic components and performed data analysis in Root using C.
