I am currently a consulting analyst at Accenture, a global technology consulting firm. I graduated in May 2019 from the University of Michigan with degrees in Anthropology and Computer Science. I am fascinated by the way humans interact with their cultural environments and with technology, and enjoy applying design thinking concepts to iterate on solutions to complex problems. In the past, I have worked in consulting, web development, photography, ethnography, education, and museum studies. I have a strong technical understanding through my experience studying Computer Science, and am also a skilled communicator and researcher through my anthropology and consulting background. In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts, traveling, and supporting NGOs. I am particularly passionate about helping to improve international access to education for women and girls, and hope to continually contribute my skills and resources to this cause throughout my career.

Post-Graduation Experiences

A global adventure

After graduating, I spent five months traveling (I barely made it pre-COVID!) around several countries in Europe and Asia. Much of this journey was a solo one, and I learned how to navigate many new situations, face uncertainty, and be adaptable and open-minded. I will always be grateful for the kind, welcoming people that I had the pleasure of befriending throughout the world. I am hoping to find some time soon to share my insights on this experience and consolidate them into a blog.

Work as a CDP (Consulting Development Program) Analyst at Accenture

Since October of 2019, I have been working for Accenture, a global technology consulting firm. Accenture is a very forward thinking company which emphasizes solving problems using iterative, collaborative methods. I am continually inspired by the incredible work that my colleagues at Accenture are doing every day for clients and for the world, and it has been a wonderful year of personal and professional growth

Due to client confidentiality, I cannot reveal too many specific details about my projects with Accenture, but since beginning, I have been able to:

• Fully integrate myself into an Agile software development workflow for an IoT solution involving mobile and web applications and interfaces
• Develop content that was presented to client leadership, including C-Suite executives
• Compile research on major trends in funding across developing economies used to inform strategy on development partnerships
• Manage a campaign to collect ideas about how to respond to a major worldwide crisis (which may or may not be going on right now) and helping to develop a crisis-response innovation workflow to identify synergies between similar projects and help them navigate barriers
• Pitch an idea about connected health systems which was developed along with a team of three analysts and included a risk analysis and a go-to-market strategy
• Work on a 13 person team supporting a $100M+ project
• Mentor summer interns, new analysts, and local high school students on professionalism skills and navigating Accenture
• Finally learn what blockchain means!
