De Bilt, Utrecht, Netherlands

Contributing to the modernization of the Netherlands' weather observation network by conducting field tests of new instrumentation, collecting, processing, analyzing and visualizing weather data, and documenting findings for potential implementation and deployment.

De Bilt, Utrecht, Netherlands

Completed Master’s thesis, titled “Improving an Automated Fog Detection System with Transfer Learning: A Computer Vision Problem.” See the “Projects” section for complete description.

Utrecht, Netherlands

During Master’s studies, independently pursued and secured internship via networking on LinkedIn. Upon taking the summer role, researched clustering algorithms to identify micro-climate zones in Germany. Inspected, visualized, and analyzed complex environmental data.

Wellesley, MA

Represented the STEM department as the liaison between faculty and administration. Created a data-driven tracking system to classify students based on achievement and growth. See the “Projects” section for complete description.

Wellesley, MA

Transitioned from earth science to physics curriculum. Designed a new curriculum for physics based on MA DESE frameworks. Hired new teachers, facilitated training on the new curriculum, and integrated new equipment and technology in classrooms. Taught 9th grade physics.

Waltham, MA

Collaborated with administrators and faculty to develop the MAT program from the ground up. As part of that effort, developed and taught “Pedagogy of Science Teaching,” a graduate course.

Sharon, MA

Supervised a team of 20 science teachers in evaluating science curricula, addressing deficits, and incorporating new STEM lessons. Designed a district-wide K-12 STEM action plan to integrate engineering practices into the science curriculum. Taught all levels of 9th grade physics.

Arlington, MA

Managed the STEM department, including supervising teachers and managing the annual budget. Developed K-12 program objectives based on national and state standards. Made data-based decisions for curriculum and instruction improvements to improve knowledge acquisition.

Newton, MA

Designed an all-new meteorology course: (1) secured $10K in grants, (2) built a resource library with textbooks and periodicals, (3) established the school’s first weather station, (4) mentored students interested in meteorology professions, and (5) trained teachers to use Vernier data collection, analysis, and visualization tools.

Newton, MA

Designed and taught a summer enrichment meteorology course for students in grades 5–8.

Boston, MA

Analyzed workforce data to ensure compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulations. Prepared quarterly reports to identify hiring trends and summarize employment demographics.

Bedford, MA

Prepared weather forecasts for various entities in the energy and transportation sectors, then delivered on-air radio weather forecasts for the Southeast U.S.

Acton, Massachusetts, United States

Analyzed synoptic weather maps to identify weather conditions for various geographical areas in the United States. In addition, validated weather data collected from ground-based field instrumentation from selected study sites.

Westford, Massachusetts, United States

Westford, Massachusetts, United States

Analyzed synoptic weather maps to identify weather conditions for various geographical areas. In addition, validated weather data collected from ground-based field instrumentation nationwide.
