When I started college, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I always got indirect hints from great professors I had along the way, and I eventually found my calling. I graduated in the iSchool program at the University of Maryland with a focus in data science. I also have a minor degree in Astronomy which enabled me to receive amazing opportunities such as having the privilege of working at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for 2 and a half years.My passion is data and I pursue it every day in every fashion. I was a computer science and mathematics double degree student when I was recruited at NASA with the mini-LHR team where I was immediately tasked with learning Python and addressing my team's data needs. This included writing programs that dynamically graphed thousands of solar transmittance charts daily, creating and maintaining relational databases, leading a citizen science outreach program, paving the way for machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies in the data we received, developing processes for thermo-vacuum testing for satellite components, and driving initiative to increase efficiency wherever possible. One of my proudest achievements was through multiprocessing techniques, I increased data processing efficiency across the board by over 95%. This is when I learned that my calling is in data.I then was recruited by the project lead of the Pandora project where I immediately began dissecting every process the team undergoes and utilizing my strengths to assist where needed and lead the drive for a more efficient data collection and analytics process. The year I was brought on board was also the year that the Pandora project took on 15 college interns which allowed me to experience life in a management role in the work place. My college capstone project was also involved with Pandora in which we worked with big data (historical readings throughout the history of the Pandora project), standardized the records, and transformed the data into a query-able data set.Other accomplishments I am proud of is holding a black belt in judo, running in marathons, and composing music. Throughout my life, I have learned discipline, respect, and how to have the drive it takes to succeed at anything I put my mind to. I now am employed by Zimmerman Advertising where I lead data acquisition, presentation, engineering, security, automation, and storage initiatives and am looking forward to furthering my career.

Listed skills include Data Visualization, Computer Science, Java, Statistics, and 15 others.
