About Me
I am a Math and Physics double major at St Olaf College in Minnesota. I am looking for a summer internship that allows me to combine my love of the natural world with my love of math and science. I have strong intra-personal and leadership skills from many years working as a teacher and instructor at summer schools, theater programs, and skiing programs. I have outdoor skills from 15+ years of wilderness expeditions during summers in Alaska and Canada and a semester studying environmental science and outdoor leadership at the High Mountain Institute in Colorado.
Coursework
Work experience
I worked under a physics professor at St Olaf College researching temperature processes over the Greenland icesheet. My work involved data extraction, extensive use of MatLab and JMP for data analysis and visualization, scientific writing for posters and papers, 3D modeling, electronic work building and coding a temperature control system for our lab, and effective team collaboration. I also prepared and presented this work at a number of conferences, including the American Geophysical Union 2018 Fall Meeting. I began working on this project Summer 2018 through the CURI program and have continued the research through the Thomas Endowment Fund.
I opened the building and ran a morning art room. I also planned, prepared, and served morning snack to all the summer programs. In addition I supervised groups on field trips and the aftercamp gameroom, and kept the inventory for the supply room.
I was responsible transferring over all the data for a website update for the club. I also designed the new club website: http://emeraldcityfc.org. I was also responsible for contacting parents and collecting paperwork on new players. This was entered into a website for player insurance.
I led hour and half kayaking lessons for large groups of summer camp kids. I was responsible for organizing anywhere from 10 to 30 kids, teaching them basic kayaking technique, leading trips and games, and providing safety on the lake.
I worked as a cross-country ski instructor during winter. I taught in the junior program and led kids on adventures every weekend.
I was the stage manager for the HS production of Front Page at the Bathhouse Theater in Seattle WA. I was responsible for keeping the director, actors and tech crew on schedule by running auditions, writing down blocking and cues, being on-book during rehersals, acting as liason between the various designers, the director and run crew and providing a daily rehearsal report to the director, actors, and tech crew. I also called sound and light cues during the performances.
I assisted with the summer children's theater program. I was responsible for supervising the students, running activities and signing in students in the mornings.
