I motivated students toward learning and studying to build their self-confidence and reduce their fear of failure. I also collaborated with students to complete homework assignments, identify any lagging skills, and correct weaknesses. Range is from basic middle school math, up to college level courses. I have tutored multiple Lehigh Students in calc, basic physics, and high level physics.

In this role, I gained extensive knowledge in data entry, analysis, and reporting. I utilized critical thinking to break down problems, evaluate solutions, and make decisions. I also assisted with day-to-day operations, working efficiently and productively with all team members, and developed strong communication and organizational skills through working on group projects.

Phoebe is a Python library that can model eclipsing binaries given a limited number of initial parameters. We have been working with it for over a year to generate both light curves and radial velocity curves, which can be modified by varying the initial parameters. These generated graphs are then compared to actual graphs of eclipsing binaries to fit the generated graphs to them, in order to find the parameters without going through the calculation process, and with limited initial data.

Used stellar spectra from the Polarbase database in combination with Python in order to create and graph radial velocity curves. These results were then analyzed and eventually presented in the form of a poster that was shown to the Physics and Astrophysics department during a poster session.

Used light curves from many different databases such as ASAS, Gaia, and TESS in order to graph these light curves to find parameters of interest such as the primary eclipse, secondary eclipse, and period, which can be used to find other parameters like the radii of the stars, magnitudes, and velocity of the stars. These results were once again analyzed and presented in the form of a poster to the physics and astrophysics departments during a poster session.

Assistant to safety manager that oversaw every aspect of safety of the entire plant. Hybrid between office work and floor work. Learned how to work in an office, as well as how to do different types of inspections on equipment. Learned the value and importance of safety not just in the workplace, but in all areas such as classroom and lab.
