Junior studying informatics, currently doing a data-driven externship analyzing program and incident data for youth justice insights.
I am a junior at the University of Washington Seattle studying informatics I have limited formal work experience and I'm building practical skills through a data analysis externship with the Center for Improving Youth Justice, where I analyze program and incident data to find patterns in youth outcomes and facility operations.

A data analysis externship with the Center for Improving Youth Justice, focused on analyzing program and incident data to surface patterns in youth outcomes and facility operations.
The externship worked with CIYJ's longitudinal dataset of surveys, incident reports, and demographic records to evaluate common assumptions in juvenile justice. The project defined analytical limits, selected suitable correlational approaches, and produced an initial conceptual framework for interpreting relationships in the data.
I produced a spreadsheet that cataloged every CIYJ file, counted rows, recorded each file's unit of analysis, listed IncidentReports tabs, and noted which files included inline codebooks.
I opened the CIYJ files, counted rows and tabs, documented each file's unit of analysis and presence of a codebook, and listed sheet-level row counts and tab names for the dataset deliverables.
I used Phase 1 EDA to identify candidate variables, wrote a statistical and plain-language research question linking LockedUpForMisbehavior to TheRulesAreFair, documented preprocessing steps, and defended the design including AI critiques and limitations.
I ran a logistic regression on 4,024 youth responses comparing those who experienced disciplinary room confinement to those who did not, reported an odds ratio of 0.52 for perceiving rules as fair, and logged an AI review that flagged causal claims and omitted-variable concerns.
