University of Miami
Research Associate II
I was brought on to assume multiple responsibilities across several projects. My biggest accomplishments have been turning raw behavioral data into reliable signals of developmental delays, helping in the development of a context-rich transcription tool used by speech pathologists working with minimally verbal children, and deploying a computer vision model to capture fine-motor skills. I also led a study on classroom interactions whose preliminary results helped secure $100K in funding. Along the way, I've contributed to manuscripts currently under review at INSAR, ICDL, and Advanced Sciences.
Miami Country Day School
Physics Teacher
I taught high school physics at all levels: college prep, honors, and AP. I take pride in having created an experiment-first curriculum that helped bridge a gap between science and students' interests. When schools shut down as a response to the pandemic, I developed a graphing tool from scratch that students could use to perform experiments at home and analyze their data. Even during a difficult year, my students had higher average test scores at the local, state, and federal level.
