ABOUT ME
Research Obsessed
My middle school ‘Science Talent’ classes imbued me with a strong passion for research, data collection, and clinical writing that has not waned to this day. As an undergraduate and graduate student, I gained practical skills in research design, questionnaire creation and distribution, and statistical analysis. I spent several years volunteering, and subsequently working for doctors at New York Presbyterian Weill-Cornell assisting them with their research projects.
Despite my love for the work I was doing, I knew medicine was not the path for me. A course in linguistics sparked an interest in my past career of four years as a Speech-Language Pathologist. While there were many aspects of my work that I enjoyed greatly, such as directly being able to help others and facing new challenges daily, I felt as though my true passion for data and research remained unfulfilled. To scratch this itch, I decided to pivot my career to data analytics. I have now been working in the field for a year and a half and can say for certain that I made the right choice in my transition. I have never been happier in my work! I am now looking for a meaningful position that will allow me to put my newfound skills to use. |

PORTFOLIO
Project: COVID-19 Resource Website
A week into the NYC "Pause" on March 16th, I was motivated to do something helpful for the community and felt that the best use of my skills was to create a COVID-19 news and resource website. I had already been designated as the "resource point person" at my current job, and had a large collection to work with. Using database tables and a large variety of resource sites (and a great support system), I launched my website in one week.
Project: Poster Presentation at the American Public Health Association (APHA)
In my current role, I create and design new posters for every conference at which our project is invited to present. The target audience is typically: mental health workers, key stakeholders in schools, and government officials.
Project: Dunder Mifflin Salesperson Analysis
Project: Dunder Mifflin Salesperson Analysis
I analyzed a variety of sales metrics utilizing Pivot Tables to determine which employee is to be promoted to the Sales Lead position (spoiler: it was Dwight).
Project: Amsterdam Airbnb Analysis
Using "Inside Airbnb" data for the city of Amsterdam, I utilized SQL to join multiple tables, calculate bookings, and identify which properties have high and low availability. With this dataset, I created a presentation to recommend areas in which to invest.

Project: Converting Non-Subscriber Citi Bikers
Using Citi Bike ridership data for June 2015, my task was to identify five stations that had the greatest potential for marketing to non-subscribers in the hopes of converting them to full subscribers. I utilized SQL to explore the data, remove invalid data (e.g., rides lasting fewer than five minutes). Once entered into Excel, I was able to determine the best days, stations, and times to reach non-subscribers.
