Astronomy Tutor, Lifeguard, Referee
-
Jul 2015 - Jan 2018
As a lifeguard, I was responsible for enforcing the pool policies of the university.As an Astronomy tutor, I worked with over 15 students to accommodate their unique learning styles. I identified each student's stage in the learning process, and customized each session to meet individual needs. Instead of providing answers, I strived to ask students questions that lead them reach the correct answer on their own. All of my tutees who've attended at least two tutoring sessions displayed an increase in their grade. Show less

May 2016 - Sep 2016
Collaborated on a team at Greenway Solutions, a consultant company that works with many of the largest national banks. The goal of the project was to develop and perform tests identifying the areas on USAA’s digital banking platforms (i.e. online, mobile, call center) most vulnerable to fraud based upon the comparative strengths of peer banks. Generated funds availability data and made recommendations to help USAA improve their fraud controls for wire transfers. Actively participated in conference calls, asking questions that tailored the team's approach to collecting data to best fit the needs of the client. After project completion, spent an additional week analyzing how banks can use social intelligence data to increase the accuracy of identifying new customers. Created a report identifying 9 current vendors, the key features of each vendor, and the practicality and prospects for social data being used by Banks to improve identity verification procedures in 2017. Attended 8 different networking events sponsored by HQ Charlotte/Packard Place including: Charlotte Angel Fund investor meetings, Blockchain seminars, a seminar on financing a venture in NC held by the NC Secretary of State, and a QC FinTech demo day where ten founders of start-up companies presented their business plans.
