I work with data professionally and have taught basics of programming and Computer Science. I'm interested in applying data science to raw data, often from web scraping, to find meaningful information. Before getting jobs working with data, I spent over 8 years working full-time serving individuals with severe mental illness and seniors with disabilities, especially forms of dementia.

From 2012 to 2020 I worked full-time in human services, directly helping people with mental illness find work and further their education, and helping to provide enrichment for seniors at a day care and a nursing home. In addition to direct service, I was also a manager for a few years and in most of my roles there were some technical elements .
