• Built a data pipeline to track substance store activity across neighborhoods by extracting data from multiple sources and integrating the Google Places API to detect duplicates, renames, and closures, ensuring dataset consistency.
• Developed Python (pandas, NumPy, regex) scripts to clean and standardize store names and addresses, which reduced inconsistencies and improved the quality of data used for analysis.
• Implemented structured storage workflows with version-controlled CSV files and schema validation to maintain dataset reliability and support long-term monitoring efforts.
• Applied machine learning methods such as clustering and time-series analysis to study neighborhood retail patterns and store density trends, and generated exploratory visualizations in Matplotlib/Seaborn to support further analysis.
• Utilized SAS to clean, validate, and prepare large-scale interRAI health datasets, ensuring accuracy and reliability of clinical data for research use.
• Automated data preparation workflows with SAS SQL and macros, reducing manual processing effort and decreasing runtimes by approximately 30%.
• Produced publication-ready outputs in Excel, Power BI, and R Markdown, supporting the completion of multiple peer-reviewed research projects.
• Optimized website performance by refactoring HTML/CSS and customizing Cascade CMS templates, resulting in improved load times and streamlined content management.
• Enhanced site usability and engagement by implementing responsive layouts with CSS Flexbox/Grid and designing graphics in Adobe Photoshop.
• Collaborating with The CulturePlex Lab (cultureplex.ca) researchers and developing innovative data analysis algorithms using advanced technologies such as SQL and Python for analyzing complex datasets. This initiative is leading to significantly faster data collection, enhancing efficiency in digital humanities and cultural studies research.
• Expertly managed and optimized MySQL databases, enhancing data integrity and query efficiency, significantly improving data accessibility and processing speeds, directly contributing to more effective and timely research insights.
• Introduced a detailed time chart for new employees, outlining specific tasks and expectations for each time period, as part of a comprehensive training program. This structured approach resulted in 90% of staff reaching proficiency within their first 14 days, markedly improving workforce efficiency and operational effectiveness.
• Conducted daily inspections of all shipments, and oversaw the preparation of food, ensuring all safe food handling protocols and procedures were followed, thus creating food that was safe for customers.
• Set and enforced performance and service standards by developing and implementing a systematic approach, which included regular training sessions, clear communication of goals, and consistent monitoring of service quality. This strategy ensured a consistently fast-paced and high-quality environment, fostering a culture devoted to customer satisfaction.
• Successfully coordinated and executed over five events, from club meetings to sneaker photoshoots, through detailed planning and resource management, leading to high attendance and positive feedback.
• Managed event budgets effectively, ensuring all expenses were meticulously accounted for and remained within budget constraints, resulting in cost-efficient events without compromising quality.
• Collaborated with the VP of Events to enhance event documentation procedures using digital filing systems and automated scheduling, significantly cutting down on administrative task time.
• Facilitated a seamless dining experience for customers by efficiently taking orders, coordinating with kitchen staff, and delivering food and beverages, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and repeat patronage.
• Provided a high level of customer service through personalized interactions with diners, including engaging in conversation about menu items, providing recommendations based on dietary restrictions and preferences, and accommodating special requests, resulting in an increase in the customer satisfaction ratings of 15%.
