Dear Future Employer

Thank you for checking out my website! During the years that I was at home raising four children and taking care of my elderly parents, I was still highly motivated and took pride in taking on challenges and solving problems. I taught myself javascript and created: Numbergrids, Sky is Falling, Rotate the Prism, and Mines. I also spent a few hours each week tutoring high school and college students various math subjects. Additionally, I have served in several leadership positions in church and in my neighboorhood. 

I taught Geometry part-time at a private High School for one year but classroom teaching is not what I want to do for a career. Something about me just makes teenagers feel too comfortable and I end up with tons of besties constantly interrupting the lesson. I suppose that this can be a good skill in different fields of work where my coworkers are comfortable enough to be honest with me. I'm very grateful for any feedback, positive and negative.

I have great passion and talent for coding and applied math. I love to solve problems and produce beautiful work. I go well beyond the requirements of assignments and projects. During my years at the U.S. Naval Observatory, I found things to do well beyond my assigned duties. For a couple examples, I wrote bash scripts that edit text files with current advisories and automated it and I rewrote some of the legacy Fortran code to C. 

Now that I'm done having babies and my youngest is starting Kindergarten, I'm ready to get back to work! I started a Master's program in Analytics at Georgia Tech in 2024 and will be graduating December 2026. I hope to start a part-time intership/job in Summer 2026 and/or Fall 2026 and then start a full-time job in Winter 2027. You can see some snippets of the projects that I've done in the Master's program, going well beyond the project requirements, in Where to Live, Where to Live (Tableau), and Magic the Gathering.

I held a Secret Security Clearance several years ago and I am confident that I could get it again. My husband currently holds one for his job as well.

Other things I like to do: basketball, gymnastics, bike rides, swims in rivers, piano, ukulele, violin, singing, and dancing.

Thank you for considering me!
