Data Coordinator at Ramaz School (2024-11 – 2026-05)

• Designed and deployed an end-to-end enrollment automation pipeline connecting Veracross and Schoology via SFTP and DreamHost — independently building the DreamHost folder infrastructure, writing SQL-based data transformation queries to match Schoology's required format, and scheduling daily automated CSV exports. Identified and resolved a structural mismatch where Veracross exported students and teachers as separate files while Schoology required a single combined CSV; engineered a Python script on DreamHost to automatically merge the files post-export, enabling full automation of student, teacher, and course enrollment across the organization.
• Automated report card generation for the Early Childhood Center using Google Apps Script, replacing a time-intensive manual workflow with a reliable, repeatable process.
• Automated student photo ingestion and system uploads using Python on DreamHost, saving hours of manual administrative work per intake cycle.
• Owned data integrity across 4 enterprise platforms (Veracross, Schoology, Senior Systems, Blackbaud), reconciling large-scale institutional datasets and resolving reporting discrepancies affecting leadership decision-making.
• Built and maintained a suite of recurring and ad hoc Excel/Google Sheets dashboards and reports for senior leadership, improving cross-departmental data access and reporting consistency.
• Mapped data dependencies across internal systems to document how data flowed between platforms, ensuring reporting consistency and supporting audit readiness.
• Trained 10+ faculty and staff on Veracross, reporting tools, and data-entry standards — driving adoption of self-service analytics and reducing source-data error rates.
• Supported FERPA-compliant handling of sensitive student and employee records as part of ongoing governance and compliance initiatives.

Volunteer Data Analyst at American Red Cross (National HQ) (2024-09 – Present)

• Conducted enterprise-wide data quality assessments, surfacing inconsistencies degrading reporting accuracy and operational performance across business units.
• Contributed to an API modernization initiative aimed at improving data reliability, pipeline integration, and accessibility across internal systems.
• Produced analytical reports, stakeholder visualizations, and process-gap analyses supporting the organization's data strategy and governance objectives.
• Partnered with technical and business teams to document requirements and define remediation pathways for identified data quality issues.

Laboratory Technician at Drew University (2019-02 – 2020-05)

• Redesigned inventory tracking procedures, contributing to an ~20% reduction in supply-related costs through more accurate demand forecasting and recordkeeping.
• Maintained research records, databases, and laboratory documentation with rigorous attention to accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
