Executive Summary
In 2021, I accepted a role as an educator to share my experience and love for learning with the next generation. And while I discovered that being in an elementary classroom was not for me, I was very intrigued by all the data teachers and administrators gather and that a school system is required to process. I believe that I can best contribute by applying my skills in data analytics and visualization and programming and I am currently seeking a role as a Programmer/Analyst.

HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT | 06/2021-06/2022
As an Educator I worked at a Title 1 school in the Houston Independent School District teaching 3rd grade Math & Social Studies. I created lesson plans and teaching materials in compliance with TEKS using the HISD District Planning Guide which were presented to my students. I regularly administered assessments collecting data on student progress & used this data to inform future lesson planning. Data was used to analyze both individual student & entire class progress allowing data driven decisions to be made for any corrective measures in regards to increasing student achievement. Individual student learning styles were identified in order to tailor activities that best empowered student mastery of learning objectives. Supplemental practice activities were created in Google Forms allowing for the easy collection of additional data on student progress.
- Administered assessments to gather data on student academic level. Data used as the basis for data-driven decision making in the lesson design for classes. Insights learned from these actions led to measurable increase in student academic achievement.
- Regularly presented administrators with quantitative results of ongoing data collection on student achievement. In the event of regression, worked with administrators and other educators to redesign and readminister lessons based on the collected data leading to an overall increase in student mastery.
