I help care for dogs and cats through feeding, walking, and socializing. I also assist with events, and sharing the shelter’s mission with visitors.

I supported a nonprofit research team by tracking U.S. COVID-19 cases by county, race, and ethnicity, and helped incorporate quality checks to keep the data accurate and consistent.

I assisted a State Senator’s office during COVID-19, helping over 500 constituents navigate the unemployment insurance application process and access critical benefits.

I provided assistance to a State Assemblymember’s office in Queens by building a database of over 200 local community organizations to strengthen outreach efforts.
