I have built a strong foundation in software development through my studies. Pertinent course work includes Java, Python, Data Structures, Operating Systems, and Modern Programming. I have acquired valuable skills along the way and I am eager to apply this knowledge in a practical setting and take on new challenges.

Professional Experience

Associate IT Specialist

DOT National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration

June 2024 - September 2024

  • Contributed to IT projects in the Strategic Planning Division, focusing on automation and process improvements.

  • Used SQL and Excel to streamline data analysis and enhance visualization, helping improve data processes.

  • Built VBA macros to automate tasks, boosting accuracy and efficiency in identifying vehicle defects and supporting proactive solutions.

My current role as a Respiratory Therapist in the Neonatal ICU has given me valuable transferable skills.

Through my work I have honed in on how to critically think and it has taught me to stay composed and self-assured in a high stress environment. I’ve also learned to prioritize tasks using big-picture thinking, and working with different teams has helped me communicate ideas clearly, even in high-stakes situations. The only way out, is through.
