Started my own business for tutoring students of all ages in mathematics and statistics, though most students were in the Advanced Placement to undergrad calculus III range. Learned a lot about running a small business and the difficulties of marketing, budgeting, lesson planning, and scheduling especially in the shift to all virtual in 2020 to back in person in 2021 and 2022.

Space grant recipient in 2017 and again in 2018 to continue the same research project. Under the guidance of and collaboration with Dr. Aaron Montgomery, I designed a statistical model and then build it in MATLAB, with training done over ecological field data to predict the spread path of the tree pathogen Beech Leaf Disease (BLD). We worked closely with Cleveland Metroparks research scientists so that our work could inform their efforts to mitigate the spread of the disease in NE Ohio.

We worked closely with Cleveland Metroparks research scientists so that our work could inform their efforts to mitigate the spread of the disease in NE Ohio. I also cleaned a lot of data in Excel/VBA, made graphics in R, and became very well acquainted with ArcGIS. We presented our work at an international conference on BLD in 2019 as well as two student research symposiums at NASA Glenn.link to paper (pages 114-117): https://osgc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2019-Proceedings.pdf Show less
