My final project I complete in the University of Texas School of Information will be a Professional Experience Project. For my PEP, I am working with Austin Community College Libraries to make a survey that focuses on the technology ownership, use, and needs of their students. To achieve this, I am researching survey best practices, developing survey questions, and analyzing the results with recommended actions. This survey will help inform key stakeholders at ACC on where to best allocate library funds.

In my Data Storytelling course, I learned how to use Tableau by creating several different dashboards. For my final assignment, I worked with UT Libraries to create a dashboard of our course material circulation rates to affect future acquisitions. Due to security reasons I cannot share this dashboard publicly, but I have uploaded some of the best dashboards I created for the course on my Tableau Public profile here.

During the summer, I aided a few UT History professors in putting together their promotion packets for tenure. I consulted platforms like Scimago, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to measure how many citations an article, book, or book chapter received. I also evaluated journal impact and  nontraditional methods of impact, like social media engagement and interactions on platforms like academia.edu.
