Teaching Assistant (TA)
Northeastern University
I became a TA for CS 2500, or Fundamentals of Computer Science 1, during my second semester of college after taking the course in the fall. As a TA, I assessed undergraduate students who took CS 2500 by grading homework assignments, labs, the midterm, and the final. I also instructed students during scheduled office hours and labs to help solidify their understanding of the course material.

Research Assistant (RA)
Northeastern University
As soon as I enrolled at Northeastern University, I hit the ground running by securing a RA position under Professor Razvan Lungeanu, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the D’Amore McKim School of Business. My job was to collect and organize financial and demographic data from Northeastern databases for large-scale quantitative analyses.

Computer Programmer
Sefia Designs
My main role in the Sefia Designs startup company was using Search Engine Optimization setups to improve website and business search accuracies. However, I did also optimize user traffic and conversion rates for the website by using key performing indicators, metrics, and A/B testing.

Business Information and Technology Services (BITS) Summer Intern
Celularity
As a BITS intern, I frequently had something new to work on. Some days, I would provide technical support to the other employees in the company. On other days, I would assist in deploying laptops to new hires. One of my favorite projects was researching software and hardware that would enhance the technology used as the company transitioned to the building in Florham Park.
