Excel and Power BI Services
If you have Excel or Power BI requirements and are lacking the resource within your team to tackle them, I can help out. I am a Microsoft Certified Professional in BI Reporting. I offer remote consulting in data analysis and reporting using Microsoft Excel and/or Power BI. I work with clients to:
* optimize existing Excel workbooks
* build or update reports and dashboards in Excel or Power BI to gain insights from single or multiple data sources
* leverage the Office 365 suite of apps to streamline business intelligence and reporting
I can complete all the work myself, freeing you up for other projects, or I can work with you to tackle the project hands on, teaching you the skills you'll need to replicate similar reports or documents.

ME 170: Computer Aided Design Grader/Tutor
University of Illinois; Urbana, Illinois, USA; September 2006 - May 2010
I worked for the Mechanical Science and Engineering department at the University of Illinois as a grader for a laboratory class for freshman. As grader, I was not only responsible for grading and providing feedback on weekly lab assignments, but also for assisting students during their weekly lab sessions.
Games Camp Counselor/Tutor
University of Illinois; Urbana, Illinois, USA; August 2006 & 2007
GAMES Camp stands for Girls Adventures in Math, Engineering and Science. This camp is designed to show girls that STEM fields are not just for boys. Girls can do them too!
This camp is an overnight camp for one week during the month of August (before school starts). It is run by the Women in Engineering department at University of Illinois. I worked as a counselor for this camp during the summer of 2006 and 2007. As a counselor, I was in charge of a group of 10 teenage girls day and night. I assisted them with their projects- making a video game using Squeak SmallTalk. We played games and hung out during free time. We shared meals together. I made sure that they were safe and felt comfortable at night and throughout their stay at the camp (for some of them, it was their first time away from home).
Overall, I acted as a role model for these girls to show them that girls can be engineers too. I helped them with their projects and during class time, and answered their questions about engineering. But mostly, we were just a group of girls having fun adventures with math, engineering and science!
