Developed original content that colleagues adopted to engage students in learning mathematical and statistical concepts.

Foreign Service Officer, Department of State

Dakar, Senegal and Paris, France

May 2010 - January 2015

Organized multiple successful visits for very senior government officials. The networks I established during my first months on the job were key to ensuring full participation in these senior-level meetings by busy foreign officials, who were sometimes given very little notice.

Provided succinct analysis of foreign government positions for visiting policy makers from Washington that shaped their high-level discussions.

Gave briefings to Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials that convinced them to adopt U.S. policies on issues of key importance to the State Department.

During my consular rotation, I evaluated thousands of visa applications for the United States, as the first line of defense against terrorists and other nefarious actors.

Statistician, Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative

Maseru, Lesotho

June 2009 - April 2010

Used regression analysis to investigate pediatric HIV data from electronic patient records to determine whether drug regime treatment was effective and beneficial to children. Senior management adopted my recommendations and subsequently improved health outcomes.

Collaborated internationally with colleagues in other African countries on clinical outcomes. Analyzed and compared Lesotho data with other similar countries. This work culminated in a published journal paper on mortality and clinical outcomes in HIV-infected children in Lesotho.

Wrote computer programs using STATA to extract information requested by clients about HIV/AIDS treatment in the clinic. Analyzed, summarized and presented this information to clinic management. Conditions for the clinic’s young patients subsequently improved, especially with respect to nutrition and medicine-taking frequency.

Trained data manager to run STATA programs for monthly reporting on treatment outcomes.
