I’m a life sciences researcher and data analyst with an MS in Biotechnology (GPA 4.0, Florida Institute of Technology, 2026) and a BS in Biology with a minor in Animal Behavior (Indiana University, Magna Cum Laude). I build statistical workflows, analyze complex biological datasets, and write clearly for scientific audiences. During my graduate research at Florida Tech, I replaced a $1,000+/year paid data collection platform with a custom open-source R solution, designed automated field data workflows, and integrated multi-source environmental data into reproducible pipelines. As an undergraduate researcher at Indiana University, I analyzed multi-year GPS wildlife tracking datasets, cleaned long-term behavioral observation records, and built the lab’s first searchable specimen database from 40+ years of archival records. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU - Statistical analysis: regression, mixed-effects models, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics - R and Python scripting and pipeline development - Data cleaning and transformation from messy, multi-source datasets - Publication-quality visualizations with ggplot2 and matplotlib - Reproducible reporting via R Markdown and Jupyter Notebooks - Scientific writing: Methods, Results, and Discussion sections - Literature reviews, grant background sections, and lay summaries - Manuscript editing for clarity, accuracy, and journal style My background spans field ecology, molecular biology, and computational data science. I work equally well with observational biological data, commercial analytics datasets, and structured clinical data. I’m detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and used to communicating complex findings to non-specialist audiences (I’ve taught college biology). Whether you need a quick data clean-up or a full analysis pipeline with a written report, I can help. Message me with what you’re working on. I reply within 24 hours.

I help schools stay organized, audit-ready, and running smoothly. While my background is primarily with K-12, charter, private, career, and beauty schools, my skills translate easily across many industries. As a compliance and accreditation specialist with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I have supported schools through Cognia, ACCET, NACCAS, and state-level requirements. Schools bring me in when they need relief, clarity, and a partner who can take ownership of the work - not just advise from the sidelines. What I Can Help You With: Accreditation & Certification Support – From Cognia/ACCET/NACCAS readiness to STEM and character education certification, I manage evidence collection, timelines, and documentation so reviews run smoothly. Compliance & Reporting Systems – Replace reactive reporting with structured processes that reduce risk and save time. Enrollment & Student Data Management – Streamline registrar workflows for accuracy and consistency across campuses and establish reporting cycles to identify trends in order to forecast enrollment needs and potential issues. Project Management for School Initiatives – Drive critical projects forward with clear plans, checkpoints, and accountability. Software Implementation & Optimization – Select, configure, and train teams on tools that improve efficiency without adding chaos. Documentation & Operations - Transform scattered policies, procedures, and records into clear, organized and compliant systems that support daily operations. I streamline manuals, handbooks, SOPs, and internal workflows so teams can work confidently and consistently. Why Schools Choose to Work With Me -You get one dedicated expert - not a rotating team -Clear communication and fast turnaround -Flexible support (advisory, hands-on, or full project execution) -Experience across K-12, charter, career, and beauty schools -A calm, organized partner who brings order to chaos
