Education

In 2025, I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Master's degree in Data Science & Analytics. In 2023, I graduated summa cum laude (also from GVSU) with a major in Statistics and French as well as a minor in Mathematics and Psychology.

Professional Experience

I currently work full time as a Supply Chain Analyst at ALDI, U.S., a company with whom I have been employed since 2019, when I began as a part time cashier. Throughout the past several years, I have grown through the company, eventually becoming an Assistant Store Manager before moving to my current role in mid-2025.

In addition, I worked part time for the GVSU Libraries' Open Educational Resources (OER) department (2021-2023) as an editorial assistant promoting OER and converting existing textbooks to accessible online editions (using PreTeXt and Pressbooks).

Community Experience

During my undergraduate education, I served as the President of the GVSU French Club, Les Francophiles (2020-2023). I was also a member of the GVSU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences's Student Advisory Committee. Outside of school, I led a recycling program at my ALDI store.

Research Experience

At GVSU, I participated in three research programs: Library Summer Scholars (Humanities, mentor: Amber Dierking), Student Summer Scholars (Humanities, mentor: Dr. David Eick), and Undergraduate Reserach Assistant (Humanities, under Dr. David Eick). I also conducted an original project for my Honors Senior Project (Computer Science, mentor: Dr. Erin Carrier). You may read more about these projects in the section titled Projects and Publications.

Please see my Portfolio page for more information on these projects.

Presentations

I have presented my research at the GVSU Student Scholars Day, once with a recorded poster presentation (2020) and once with an in-person poster presentation (2021). I also gave a group oral presentation in 2023 based on the results of our project (2022 Michigan DNR survey data) from the statistics culminating experience course.

In March of 2024, I presented my research on the French Encyclopédie and the accusation of plagiarism against its plates at the South Eastern Society for Eighteenth Century Studies annual conference.

Professional and Scholarly Associations

During my undergraduate education, I was a member of the GVSU Honors College. I am also a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Delta Phi (French Honor Society), Mu Sigma Rho (Statistics Honor Society) and Psi Chi (Psychology Honor Society).

Languages

I am a native speaker of English and have a bachelor's degree in French (I consider myself around the Advanced level).

When it comes to programming languages, I have the most experience with Python, R, SQL, and the Microsoft Suite but also know a decent amount of HTML, CSS, and LaTeX. With these latter three and a handful of other langauges / databases, I try to learn as I go.

Awards and Honors

I was the recipient of the I Am GV Service Award (2019); in 2022, the Excellence in a Discipline Award for French; in 2023, the Excellence in a Discipline Award for Statistics as well as the Outstanding French Major award; and in 2025, the Excellence in a Discipline Award for Data Science & Analytics. In addition, my 2021 summer reserach project was granted the Les and Jackie (Ott) Stiner Fellowship in Historical and Humanistic Studies and I received the title of Stiner Scholar.

Activities

In my free time, I usually am doing something related to music, whether it be composing, writing, recording, or playing an instrument. I can play piano and violin and have a few various instruments I am mediocre at. I was a member of the GVSU Symphony Orchestra (2019-2023) and was also a part of the symphony orchestra in high school.
