Looking for an internship for summer 2023!
Some things I've done in the past...
Worked at Interlink Cloud Advisors as a Collaboration and Power Platform intern
I built tools and workflows for internal and external use using Microsoft's Power Platform. I began the process of streamlining our internal Scope of Work process in order to save architect time. I also built the Human Resources division of the company intranet.
Made customer experience great at Kroger Technology as a Customer Experience Alchemist
Yes, this is what they called my position! I added maps and real-time location tracking using GeoJSON and Apple's Indoor Mapping Data Format to over 500 Kroger familiy stores, allowing customers to search by item location at their local store. I also helped resolve some Swift and SwiftUI issues for a new feature being built in the app.
Executive Directing as the Executive Director of Mason Hack Club
During the 2020-2021 school year, I ran weekly leadership team meetings, helped plan club meetings, and managed club partnerships and community participation for Mason Hack Club. I also directed the Covid-19 edition of CincyHacks, Cincinnati's largest high school hackathon.
I led other high school students in planning and hosting a summer camp for Girl Scouts aged 5-12 for 6 years. We brainstormed and prototype
activities and crafts, and function as supportive role models for young Scouts.
Worked at GMi Companies as a Summer Information Systems intern and occasional help desk person
I worked as a C/AL programmer in Dynamics NAV to update company systems and add new features, including making the inventory system 6x faster, creating 3 new types of product labels, and creating a dealer discount management system for the sales department. I also helped coworkers in other departments with Windows/Office/Dynamics NAV/Printer/Whatever issues as they came up.
Worked at Hack Club as a summer intern
I emailed and called hundreds of high school principals, teachers, and students to encourage them to found a student-led computing club at their high school. I worked as a connection to Hack Club HQ for leaders at over 50 new clubs at high schools nationwide. I also helped over 100 students take advantage of our company partnership with GitHub and get the Student Developer Pack!
Organizing Windy City Hacks as Head of
Marketing.
I've connected with hundreds of teachers, principals, charities, and students organizations to bring over 160
high schoolers of all skill levels to our event in summer 2019. 2020's event was unfortunately canceled due to COVID-19 :(.
Leading Mason ACM as President
I organized our weekly meetings and managed our finances, membership, and events. My club members and I attended local computer science focused events together.
