• Collaborated with a team of three programmers to disseminate survey data for National Longitudinal Study of Adolescents, Wave VI.
• Produced monthly and annual statistical reports to monitor progress and outcomes of survey data.
• Developed SAS codebook generator for efficient data management and collaboration.
• Led data transition efforts for Add Health, Wave V, into web-based application, including analysis plans and documentation.
• Executed data cleaning and validation using SAS to ensure quality and integrity of survey data.
• Maintained and updated Add Health's webpage, utilizing Colectica's Designer relational database.
• Identified and resolved technical issues in survey programming to enhance performance.
• Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to align survey objectives with research goals.

• Generated SDTM and ADaM datasets, developed validation checks, and created tables and listings for medical review or regulatory submissions using SAS.
• Collaborated with lead programmers, biostatisticians, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver timely and high-quality support for Data and Safety Monitoring Board and annual reports.

• Conducted analysis for a long-term clinical study, employing statistical computation and data
management to deliver precise results.
• Utilized R, SAS, PROC SQL, and Tableau to clean, manipulate, and validate complex datasets,
enhancing data interpretation and analysis capabilities.
• Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to program and test CAWI/CATI surveys, optimizing
survey research processes.

• Spearheaded the development and documentation of formalized techniques for data cleaning, validation, and construction of clean datasets for data analysis and management. This allowed research analysts to standardize SAS code used in the creation of technical report documents for client presentations well using SAS GRAPH.
• Collaborated with and trained psychometric teammates.
• Streamlined communication of graphs and tables required for client presentations and technical reports in cooperation with senior psychometrician and research analysts, decreasing turnaround time for generation of graphic data visualization.
• Gathered data to create Norms database representing over 2,000,000 records. The database is a resource for educators and parents.
• Created Spanish and Kindergarten Norms that have been published on www.lexile.com/hub as a resource for educators.
• Managed multiple projects garnering over $500,000 in 4-week windows for completion.

• Coordinated with psychometrician on development of analyses for research studies.
• Managed communications among multiple research partners.
• Applied mathematical statistical tools, models, methods and techniques, and performed computerized analyses using SAS, and SQL to determine the adequacy of collected educational data needed.
• Developed and maintained tools to facilitate production and improve efficiency. Develop 50 % of code to the specifications of the project using SAS, SQL, R, Winsteps, Excel, and any other software as required.
• Modified existing program code; review final programs as needed.
• Provided 50% of data visualization using SAS and Tableau software for client's Technical Reports.
• Expertise in generating custom ad-hoc SAS-based reports using a variety of methods (e.g., PROC REPORT, SAS Graphs, macros, ODS) and exporting those reports to other formats such as Microsoft Excel, PDF, and HTML.

• Designed survey instruments with Researcher.
• Created survey instruments and codebooks in SAS.
• Created ad-hoc tables and graphs.
• Performed regression analysis.
• Worked closely with Principal Researcher.
