Data Analytics Externship with Center for Improving Youth Justice

A data analytics externship with the Center for Improving Youth Justice, focused on analyzing multi-year juvenile facility records to surface correlations and data quality issues.

Data AnalysisPythonData VisualizationStatistical Research

Overview

During my data analytics externship with the Center for Improving Youth Justice, I examined multi-year juvenile-facility data to explore safety conditions experienced by confined youth. The project combined data-quality review, focused research-question development, visualization, interpretation, and practitioner-oriented communication.

Data Analytics Externship with Center for Improving Youth Justice

What I've accomplished

I created a shared exploration spreadsheet covering five CIYJ data files, documenting variable definitions, initial quality checks, cleaning questions, and prioritized next steps. I then examined reported fear for safety against assault and fight rates, created a scatter plot, and found no clear linear relationship.

Overview

For my MSc research in Medical Microbiology, I investigated antibiotic susceptibility patterns and plasmid profiles in multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from approximately 100 hospitalized patients with surgical-wound infections.

Research Analyst - MSc project - Multiple Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria from Clinical Specimens

What I've accomplished

I organized, cleaned, and interpreted the research data in Microsoft Excel while supporting antimicrobial susceptibility testing, plasmid-profile analysis, and scientific reporting. The project strengthened my capabilities in clinical microbiology, research documentation, data quality, and antimicrobial-resistance analysis.

Outcome

I found that continuous expression of multidrug resistance associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa was due to acquisition of resistant plasmid DNA.

Overview

For my BSc research in Microbiology, I investigated plasmid-associated multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates obtained from approximately 100 surgical-wound specimens. The study explored how plasmids may contribute to antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates.

BSc Research — Plasmid-Associated Multidrug Resistance

What I've accomplished

I maintained structured specimen and isolate records in Excel, compared antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and interpreted plasmid-profile findings using microbiology methods. The project developed my foundation in clinical microbiology, research-data organization, laboratory investigation, and scientific interpretation.

Outcome

I found that plasmid genes could course multidrug resistance in bacteria isolates.
