Researcher

SigOpt

United States Air Force civilian participating in the inaugural AFVentures Fellowship in the Bay Area. For 6 weeks I will be working with SigOpt, deepening my knowledge of their machine learning capabilities - and bringing this understanding back to the USAF. At the same time, I will share my knowledge of the Air Force and Department of Defense with SigOpt.  My goal is to encourage and facilitate a connection to create opportunities and foster a culture of innovation for the USAF.

HR Manager

Centerville Police Department

My core responsibilities were to answer 9-1-1 and non-emergency police calls, dispatch the appropriate responders, monitor the officers via radio, and run the appropriate reports on suspects. I also typed and filed reports for the department. Additionally, I updated and created procedure books (step-by-step emergency procedures and contact lists). 

I thoroughly enjoyed my job and the organization was (and still is) one of the most professional police agencies in the state and the country. While many dispatchers feel disrespected and disregarded in their role within a police department, at Centerville I was always considered part of the team - and I will always reflect fondly upon my time there.
