I recently graduated with my master's in library and information sciences with a focus in data science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before returning for my master's, I was a literary agent where I represented a number of authors and would sell their manuscripts to publishers so that their manuscripts would one day become books on bookstore shelves. Since then and throughout the last two years, I've taken on a number of data roles. I was a consultant at the Business Intelligence Group where I helped a start-up artificial intelligence company establish their business model with regards to market entry in positioning. I also worked as a data developer intern programming a data curation workflow involving programmatic data cleaning and data ETL using Python for a grant program at the university. Most recently, I was a data science intern working on digital water management at Corteva Agriscience where I automated PDF report generation using R, communicated recommendations from data science pipelines to end users through hundreds of reports distributed across the country, and developed an optimization algorithm using IOT data. I'm a fast learner with endless curiosity, a boat-load of tenacity, and a keen eye for detail.
