I currently work on miscellaneous contracts for General Assembly. I am now in my second iteration as Instructional Associate for a data science course training employees for an enterprise client data science skills. I also work on data science curricula and assessments, most recently developing 25 questions for an assessment to be used for internal and external talent evaluation by companies including Spotify and Bloomberg L.P.
I served as the lead instructor for General Assembly's (GA) 12-week data science immersive (DSI) course. In this role I had numerous responsibilites including giving lectures and review sessions covering topics from basic Python to exploratory data analysis, to machine learning and more to 13 adult learners. As lead instructor I also managed an assistant instructor, brought in weekly guest lectures to teach bonus topics, coordinated a hackathon with Deloitte LLC and a client project with a D.C. startup, TransitScreen. I used Python, Git, SQL, and Google Cloud Platform on a daily basis.
I taught two 12-week courses of DSI as assistant instructor for classes of 15 - 20 students. I gave 2-3 lecturs a week on a wide variety of data science topics including Pandas, bootstrapping, Google Cloud, and unsupervised learning. I also graded labs and projects, provided office hours, and spearheaded the migration of curriculum datasets to Google Cloud.
I spent approximately three months in Bolivia as an intern for Engineers Without Borders USA, a non-profit that oversees infrastructure projects for rural communities, mostly in developing countries. As the Bolivia Intern, I coordinated with a partner local NGO to conduct monitoring and evaluation on six ongoing projects and complete five community applications for projects. I also translated legal documents from Spanish to English.
