@matthewgay
Economics student with strong skills in data analysis and GIS.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Economics student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I am pursuing my B.A. with honors and a minor in Geography. With a cumulative GPA of 3.77, I have consistently been recognized on the Dean's List for seven semesters. My academic journey has been enriched by my involvement in research, particularly my honors thesis on tiered water pricing, which has allowed me to apply my analytical skills in real-world scenarios.
In my recent role as a Seasonal Field Operator and Water Conservation Assistant at the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, I enhanced my knowledge of GIS tools and project-based data analysis. I successfully led a field crew and collaborated with conservation staff to analyze water consumption patterns for over 2,000 households. This experience not only honed my technical skills but also strengthened my ability to communicate complex findings effectively. I am passionate about using data to drive sustainable practices and contribute to meaningful projects.
