About Me

Current Status: Still not compleated.

TLDR

I have worked in the nonprofit world for most of my career. This includes 10+ years in animal welfare, five years in higher education, and three years in healthcare. Past positions include volunteer coordinator, gift processor, database associate, and outreach/program manager. Currently, I am a senior associate director at a university.

I have two Bachelor's degrees (#BoilerUp) and a Master's degree (#GoCats). I am currently in phase three of my domination plan where I try to blend my work experience and education with work in operations/data analysis in a fundraising/nonprofit environment.

I love cake, Magic: The Gathering is my jam, sports are a thing, and I am a recovering karaoke fiend.

CERTIFICATES

IBM Data Analyst

A professional certificate that taught me the skills needed for entry-level data analysis. Python is my friend and I like pretty graphs.

Course offered by UC Davis. Learned SQL basics so I can inner join all the tables and spend too much time thinking about statement formatting.

Responsive Web Design

A certificate from freeCodeCamp. I don't not know HTML and CSS.
