What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an entry-level role where I can apply social research, statistical analysis, data interpretation, and compliance experience to understand patterns, support safe operations, and contribute to meaningful work.

I'm completing a Sociology degree at Western Washington University, with coursework in culture, organizations, social movements, and social stratification.

For my capstone, I analyzed nationwide county data and Google Trends data to draw inferences about the George Floyd protest cycle. I use IBM SPSS Statistics, academic research, data importation, theory analysis, and interpretation of data to identify patterns in social systems.

I've also supported compliance and safety operations as a BARS program compliance checker and ride operator at Oaks Amusement Park, where I inspected, cleaned, and operated 23 rides while assisting guests with safety restraints.
