- Created and led a Data Science Community for all Data Scientists at EA. The DS Community's mission is to connect Data Scientists across the company and provide them with career development opportunities. We host monthly technical talks and office hours, and quarterly workshops. The group began with 80 Data Scientists, and has grown to over 300 members from many disciplines who are interested in learning more about Data Science.- Coordinated model deployment support for our team.- Standardized our project intake process. Our team operates as an internal Data Science consulting team, so this standardized process helped us to be more effective with our many incoming project requests.- Oversaw hiring, onboarding and training for 5 summer interns on our team.- Created a cross-team intern development program. Coordinated 3 key learning sessions for over 50 interns.- Hired and mentored an aspiring Data Scientist through an internal secondment program. That person has now successfully pivoted to a Data Scientist role.- Presented on a cross-team recommendations project collaboration at an internal conference.
