STEM Foundations

As an Honors student, I co-authored a peer-reviewed journal about my contributions to toxicology by observing and analyzing earthworm avoidance behavior and how it relates to soil toxicity.

At the Argonne Symposium, I presented a workshop on the head injury criterion formula leveraging calculus and physics concepts in a car accident impact estimation. 

Hypothesis testing determines whether an assumption applies to a larger population, showing whether or not variables have an effect on one another.  This methodology applies to quantifying user needs in Jobs to be Done as requirements and validating their success through usability testing metrics.

Understanding the chemical and biological processes of living things provided the framework for understanding the importance of complex systems. As a consultant, I worked with Life Science clients and leveraged my understanding of scientific content. 

Taxonomy in biology is the system of how organisms are organized into genus and species, This methodical naming system for organisms relays to my skills in labeling and organizing content intuitively.

My systems knowledge of biological systems from molecular to biosphere ingrained the effect on the bigger picture while looking at the details. Information architecture in technology reflects a similar model to biological systems. This background helps me in my ability to create and interpret data models,  data flows, user flows, and site maps.
