Farmington Hills, Michigan, United States

• Pioneered the implementation of PowerBI into their Alpha Program, which is utilized to manage and execute contracts and service delivery daily using real-time tracking software.• Worked closely with regional managers to maintain data accuracy, ensuring high-quality, reliable information across all regions. Collaborated on enhancing the quality of data visualizations, resulting in more effective and insightful reporting that supported strategic decision-making.• Developed strong presentation skills through collaboration with the regional managers and significantly advanced my data visualization / cleaning abilities using both Power BI and Python.

East Lansing, Michigan, United States

• Collaborated with the professor to design a graduate course that introduces non-technical students to advanced programming methods within python. • Responsible for more than 80 students understanding of python programming methods as well as assisting them with creating and implementing computational methods for their thesis through a pythonic approach. • Massively improved my ability to translate complex technical skills to non-technical students from an array of differing fields of study by working one-on-one with each student during and outside of class

East Lansing, Michigan, United States

• Assisted a Ph.D. student with the development of both an analytical and machine learning approach to identifying and tracking topological defects using Python.• Used open-source software in Linux to conduct post-processing and visualization of large datasets. Utilized high performance computing resources to run simulations in parallel via Michigan State University's Institute of Cyber Enabled Research (ICER).• Responsible for a magnitude of high-level math and coding projects with stringent timelines that helped improve my ability and speed of learning.

East Lansing, Michigan, United States

• Collaborated with other ULA’s and the professor to design engaging labs and lectures for students.• Tutored groups of students with any homework or test-prep questions. (Groups of 10+ students)• Gained interpersonal communication skills, improved my ability to communicate complex technical material to non-technical audiences by teaching non-STEM students from diverse knowledge backgrounds.

• Worked in the environmental field, spearheading the implementation of a webbased application that MPS can use on-site at over 100 of their partner locations. • Used Microsoft BI and PowerApps to create the application using well over 200 different data sets, each one being site specific. • Enhanced interpersonal communication and self-directed learning skills by mastering new tools and technologies, demonstrating adaptability and a commitment to continuous improvement.

East Lansing, Michigan

• Collaborated with a team of researchers to design and fabricate the first resistive parallel plate avalanche chamber (PPAC) in order to produce a more stable image of decay for a Hadron particle. • Rapidly taught myself how to use Autodesk’s Eagle program to design a printed circuit board (PCB) that was implemented within the resistive PPAC.• Emerged as a leader, and collaborator, within a group of more than 15 researchers, overseeing presentations highlighting updates on development and noting next steps to be taken within the lab.

East Lansing, Michigan, United States

• Assisted a group of professors in studying the effects of a new form of science instruction modeled after the new “Next Generation Science Standards.” • Responsible for large-data analysis and visualizations within Python to support claims of the new form of science instruction being more beneficial to students (K-12).• Gained the understanding of how to properly use data to support claims, both visually and statistically, using Python, all without losing any information/data throughout the visualizing process.
