I think a better way to introduce my projects and work is to link you to the projects I have worked on. On the advocacy and nonprofit side, I have led organizations, primarily through QuestBridge, in event planning, community organizing, and communicating for current and former low-income students from universities all across the country. On the data science side, I have worked on a plethora of projects, but the one I think most aligns with social good work is working with the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) team at Cornell Tech to stop technological abuse in IPV settings. Below are links to written works, code, and descriptions that may be helpful:

I want to use my data science skills for social good. It is why I left teaching: to figure out ways to better collect and use data in the education setting. Since then, I have discovered an even greater passion for helping people with economic development, work that is adjacent to my work with QuestBridge. All I want to do is impact the work of organizations with data science, project management, and product management. My skills lend themselves to helping on a broad range of things, and I want to make an impact that will help others.
