Passionate about using data to support energy innovations and climate-positive actions.

Professional Experience

Data Scientist (Capstone) @ Pacific Salmon Foundation

To support biologists in modeling salmon survival, I developed predictions for outmigration timing, enabling efficient resource allocation for tagging fish in rivers. My contributions included:

  • Wrote complex SQL queries to retrieve data from a relational database with 15 interconnected tables
  • Conducted exploratory data analysis for data cleaning and preprocessing with pandas
  • Experimented with multiple modeling approaches, including SARIMAX, linear regression, and logistic regression, before selecting and developing a final XGBoost model

Branding Strategy& Business Analytics Extern @ Beats by Dr. Dre

To evaluate the effectiveness of its advertisement among Gen Z audiences, I designed and conducted a comprehensive marketing research project. My contribution include:

  • Designed research framework based on conversion funnel; successfully sampling 5.57% of the target population to gather primary data
  • Analyzed result with hypothesis testing (chi-square analysis) and perceptual mapping (dimensionality reduction)

Student Consultant @ Union Pacific Railroad

In response to trends in deforestation, renewable diesel, and domestic electric vehicle production, I identified potential customers and developed logistic plans accordingly. My contribution include:

  • Analyzed the U.S. electrical vehicles market and fit linear modeling to extend on existing prediction
  • Researched materials of various Lithium-Ion battery models; projected mineral demand by combining findings from electrical vehicle market analysis
  • Developed logistic plans and estimated potential revenue after identifying the site locations along the battery production chain

Marketing Specialist @ Nebraska College Rodeo Program

In the months leading up to the annual rodeo, the program sought ways to increase attendance; I boosted team members’ online presence. My contribution included:

  • Developed webpage using HTML and CSS
  • Shoot, edited and posted content on Instagram; analyzed performance metrics to optimize engagement
