JOB HISTORY
The Road So Far...
I pride myself on my ability to rotate industries- a benefit of my degrees.
I am currently employed full-time as the Data & Content Strategic Manager at Insivia, a global consulting agency for a myriad of SaaS businesses. I hope to move into a researching role at a think tank where I can study injustices in tech and become a research scientist full time. |
NOW & IN THE FUTURE
What's to Come
I would like to find the best application of my degrees in Information Science that combines well with my experience in philosophy and creative tech and design. I am fascinated by artificial intelligence and machine learning development and would like to be involved with a company that allows me to explore those interests and expand my abilities. I believe the next vocational step for me is in user experience. UX research & design would allow me to explore my interests in ethical tech while mirroring my hard skills in data analysis and design.

Stampede to Success
Peer MentorBecoming a leader for young students in my major was a massive goal for me. In my first two years in college, there was not an advisor for my major, so I was eager to become a Peer Mentor when the position was offered to me. I provided leadership, class assistance, and resources. With one partner, we lead a group of three students in different majors to ensure their best successes in their next three to four years of college. It's a hard time! We've all ben there, and being a resource for some amazing students was an honor.
