  Davidson College

  May 2014 - May 2016

  As a research assistant, I have developed numerous Matlab and Python programs to analyze over 500 FBS and NFL games and roughly 75,000 plays. Through a study in Equivalent Points, we have been able to provide the Davidson College coaching staff with Tableau visualizations of analytical data that characterizes our opponents, both offensively and defensively. As a result of this work, Dr. Tim Chartier and I have had the opportunity to present to over 700 people at various events, including Davidson's $425 million Game Changers campaign events in Boston and Charlotte. In addition, we had the opportunity to appear on The Frank Beckmann Show in January to share our research and make predictions for the FBS Championship Game.

As a team, we went through the entire design thinking process, received intense training in both the languages of Swift and Java, and produced a mobile application in just three months. Our mobile app, "Foodscape", highlights the sustainability practices of dining establishments in the Davidson area and is currently available on the iTunes store.More details about the app can be found here:http://food.davidson.edu/mobile-app/ Show less As one of twelve Sustainability Scholars for Davidson College, I participated in a variety of projects, presentations, and volunteering opportunities in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. My work included presentations on sustainable marketing strategies to companies like Ingersoll Rand, Chiquita, and Bank of America. In addition, I participated in volunteering opportunities at organizations like Sow Much Good, and the Davidson College Farm to promote sustainable farming practices in communities in the Charlotte area.

  The Huffington Post

  Contributing Writer

  Through my research in football analytics, I have had the opportunity to co-author several articles with Dr. Tim Chartier of Davidson College in The Huffington Post. In January, I co-authored an article entitled "The Red Zone Exists! Just Not Where You Might Think" that both introduces new scoring statistics and redefines our current understanding of the red zone. In February, I co-authored another article entitled "Super Bowl Analytics: How Hot are the Broncos and Panthers?", which uses NFL Equivalent Points data to analyze both the offenses and defenses of the Broncos and Panthers in preparation for Super Bowl 50.
