ANALYTICS PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Element Data, Bellevue, WA Nov. 2018 � Present
Social Media Content Analyst
� Analyze and create social media content data for training phase of machine learning platform.
� Classify Twitter posts given by ML algorithm according to taxonomy for small business loan client.
Amazon, Seattle, WA June � Aug. 2017
Research Science Intern
� Performed data analysis, optimization, and simulation for the Fulfillment Execution Data Science (FEDS) team.
� Created an optimization model to solve a real-time truck scheduling project for Amazon�s inbound supply chain. Rescheduling the trucks will reduce cancels, delays and adhocs, and is predicted to save 30 million dollars in costs.
� Designed an Object-Oriented Python simulation module to replicate load events at the warehouse, test the model�s performance, and run a sensitivity analysis for a pilot study.
NMG Evaluation, Cortlandt Manor, NY June � Sep. 2015
Research Analyst Intern
� Performed statistical analysis on survey data, constructed visualizations, and interpreted findings into clear, understandable summaries for seven education-related projects to earn New York State grants.
ANALYTICS ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
Analytics in Action Plated Project, Columbia University Sep. � Dec. 2017
� Led the technical analysis on a business school team project investigating the referral network for the meal kit delivery service Plated.
� Tackled open-ended questions, designed A/B tests, linked disconnected data sets, created visualizations, and analyzed data in Python using statistical techniques such as decision trees and logistic regression.
� Developed a new system for Plated to categorize and compare their refereral network data.
Designing Digital Operating Models Project, Columbia University Nov. � Dec. 2016
� Collaborated in a team of five to build a framework to maximize Return On Advertising Spend (ROAS) for an open-ended digital advertising project.
� Designed A/B tests, and analyzed the relevant market, competitive landscape, and customer profile given disconnected datasets.
Mathematics Senior Thesis, Union College Jan. � Mar. 2016
� Investigated correlations between extreme temperatures and geographical factors within the United States.
