I work with data professionally since January 2025 and have taught basics of programming and Computer Science for 3 semesters since then. 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 .
