I am a third-year student at Michigan State University majoring in Geographic Information Science with minors in Social Science Quantitative Data Analytics and Global Public Health and Epidemiology. I am passionate about using spatial applications to solve problems and help communities in need especially in regards to public health. I am a quick and eager learner and am open to all opportunities that come my way.
I digitze archival data, use hot spot analysis to identify gaps in services, and create maps of Flint's retail stores to find areas struggling with food insecurity. I also attend community meetings, survey citizens of Flint, and gather biometric data on teens in Flint.
I conduct literature review, preliminary analysis, and clean data to investigate research questions related to food insecurity and unhealthy eating behaviors. I also write and edit abstracts and present my findings at undergraduate research symposiums.
I have facilitated over 30 workshops for incoming students at Michigan State University teaching different ways to keeping MSU's campus safe and free from violence. I teach topics related to sexual violence, healthy relationships, and stalking and hold open discussions to reduce the stigma around these topics.
I created and facilitated age appropriate activities for up to 90 children ages 5-12. I ensured a clean and safe environment to promote the welfare of the campers. I tended to the needs of several campers with medical conditions. I received my CPR and first aid certification. I also effectively communicated any behavioral or health problems that occurred during the day to the camper's parents.

I acted as the board operator for National Public Radio's All Things Considered news program to ensure timely transitions between local and world news, promotion of WEMU, and traffic and weather updates. I also formatted news stories to fit station guidelines and prepare stories for upcoming broadcasts.
