I am a student for Practicum Data Scientists. I am skilled in Python Pandas, numpy, lists, dictionaries, etc. I enjoy the class and would love the opportunity to apply my current and upcoming skills in a new line of work.
My bachelor is in mathematics and a secondary education endorsement. I have intermediate understanding of stats, an expert in Algebra, calculus, and other courses. I love to be challenged, and will work tirelessly to solve a problem.

Work Experience
High School Math Teacher
Prairie Central High School - Fairbury, IL
July 2022 to Present
I am high school teacher currently teaching Algebra 1, Algebra 1 AB, and Precalculus. This school runs on block schedules which means I have these classes for one semester. However, Algebra 1 AB is the same as Algebra 1, but taught at half the speed, so I have them all year. In the spring, I will be teaching AP Calculus AB. On the side at school, I work the scoreboard for their girls' basketball games, and occasionally volleyball.
High School Math Teacher

This is my first teaching job. I currently teach Algebra 1. During the summer of 2021, I completed a training program with Project Lead the Way to be certified to teach Computer Science Essentials. I am scheduled to complete another training program with this company to teach AP Computer Science Principles. During the 2020 school year, I was an assistant coach for the Robotics team and also worked in the credit recovery program. This program helped students complete classes they previously failed.

I would receive a list of items to pull from the shop, load those things onto my truck. Then I would receive my next list of deliveries for the next day, we would have a quick recap of the day as a group. I would typically be dismissed between 2-2:30 PM Education
