    Healthcare Operations & Consulting Externship

    This externship explores how care coordination work in acute mental health settings can be designed, analyzed, and communicated as a customer-centric operational system. Externs study the case manager’s role at IMH to understand how workflows shape patient experience, surface hidden risks, and make invisible coordination work visible. Through structured analysis, process mapping, and dashboard prototyping, externs learn how operational clarity supports continuity of care, safety, and institutional decision-making.

Overview

This externship analyzed care coordination in an acute mental health clinic and produced concrete artifacts from a clinic case study, including a spreadsheet stakeholder map, root-cause diagrams, decision-tree and flowchart visualizations, and a dashboard prototype that queued verification tasks and quantified workload by role. The work was awarded Top Performer by Institute of Mental Health.

TruBridge Healthcare Data Analytics Externship

A TruBridge externship in healthcare data analytics focused on working with public health datasets, statistical methods, and dashboarding to analyze county-level health and social determinants data.

Data AnalysisData VisualizationData Storytelling

Overview

The work analyzed the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps 2025 flat file and produced an analysis-ready county dataset. The project paired adult diabetes prevalence with children in poverty, documented preprocessing steps and derived stratification fields, and produced statistical output including a Spearman correlation and bootstrap confidence intervals.

What I've accomplished

I selected the County Health Rankings 2025 county flat file, paired adult diabetes prevalence with children in poverty, documented preprocessing and derived stratification fields, and produced a Spearman correlation analysis with bootstrap CIs on roughly 3,140 counties.

Data Analytics, Health Outcomes Externship with ARCeH

Here’s what the data says: put a pin in Bangkok. Draw a five-hour flight radius around it. You just circled half the world's population. And half of those people are kids under five, an age where survival itself isn't guaranteed. Five isn't an arbitrary number: it's the line researchers use as a proxy for a country's overall health, because almost every preventable childhood death, driven by a bad water source, poor air quality, or an infection nobody caught in time, happens before it. Clear five, and the odds of reaching adulthood jump astronomically. Don't, and the cause almost always traces back to poverty, healthcare access, environmental risk, or nutrition, something that could have been mapped, measured, and prevented in time. That's the gap this externship exists to close: turning scattered, messy public data into a specific, defensible answer about what's actually driving that risk in a given place, and pass it to the people at ARCeH who want to know about it.

Data AnalysisData VisualizationData Storytelling

Overview

The externship converted public and administrative datasets into targeted analyses of factors associated with under-five mortality in the ARCeH service region. The work scoped relevant data sources, defined appropriate analytic approaches for correlated health risks, and produced reproducible analyses that compared environmental, nutritional, and access-related variables across locations.

Data-Driven Decision Making Externship with CIYJ

A data-driven externship with the Center for Improving Youth Justice, focused on analyzing two decades of juvenile facility records to surface meaningful correlations and evidence from incident, survey, and demographic data.

Data AnalysisPythonData VisualizationStatistical Research

Overview

The externship centered on a large, multi-source dataset from juvenile facilities, including incident reports, staff and youth surveys, and demographic records. The work established analytical boundaries for correlational inference and documented common data pitfalls. The project produced a conceptual foundation describing what correlational analysis could and could not determine from CIYJ's

Data-Driven Decision Making Externship with CIYJ

What I've accomplished

I produced a dataset inventory for the CIYJ extract that listed row and column counts per file, identified each file's unit of analysis and sheet count, and reported codebook coverage and facility coverage notes.

Amazon Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship

Imagine shaping how AMAZON — yes, THE Amazon — welcomes and keeps its workforce. Every year, Amazon loses billions because new hires leave before Day 90. You’re going to fix that. In this externship, you’ll web scrape real-world employee reviews from across the web, extract actionable insights, and design persona-driven strategies to help Learning Ambassadors connect smarter, faster, and more humanely. It’s part research, part strategy—and all about learning how people data drives big decisions.

Data AnalysisPythonStrategyOperations

Overview

The externship examined operational and people-analytics challenges at Amazon fulfillment centers, combining workforce data analysis with qualitative review scraping. The work parsed employee reviews and operational context, then translated patterns into persona-driven recommendations and analytic findings.
