During my two-year tenure as Membership Support Lead for the Women of NASA (WON) Steering Committee, I assisted with data analytics efforts in concert with the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity (ODEO), membership surveys, and process enhancements. Initially, my role was intended to produce analytics concerning membership. However, recognizing ODEO's advanced enterprise-level initiatives, we shifted our strategy to complement their efforts. This involved exchanging crucial data and insights necessary for both parties, rather than duplicating efforts with limited resources. My responsibilities evolved as our organization prioritized event coordination for members. I collected event participation data, designed and distributed event surveys, and subsequently performed descriptive analytics and trend analysis to detect patterns and sentiments related to event participation, which streamlined the survey process from creation to analysis. As I refined event planning and agenda logging procedures, my role further diversified. Regrettably, I had to step down from the committee as my Master's program became more demanding, but I am eager to rejoin in the future and continue contributing to our community.

Attended workshops and talks on code-first data science tools, approaches, and lessons learned.

Presented at the DC Women Techmakers’ “Impact the Future” event, sharing about my career journey as well as insights into a People Analytics R&D project that leveraged large language models to enhance a previously developed employee-skill knowledge graph. Blog post here!

Co-presented with two team members about the progress made on the implementation of our team’s data pipeline leveraging resources in the Enterprise Data Platform. This work was done to support the enterprise culture that the agency is working to foster, and by sharing with other data scientists, analysts, and AIML experts across the agency we were able to coordinate synergistic efforts in the following months.
