In May 2024, I graduated from Rutgers University School of Communication and Information with a [Master of Information (MI) degree](https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/graduate-programs/master-information) and the [data science concentration](https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/graduate-programs/master-information/concentrations/data-science). I returned to full-time employment with the [Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response](https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ohsepr) (OHSEPR) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), where I started a [Pathways Internship](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/hiring-information/students-recent-graduates/) in June 2023. I was [converted](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-362/subpart-A/section-362.107) to a position in the competitive service during August 2024.
I visited Washington, D.C. in mid-August to support [the inaugural convening on disaster human services](https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ohsepr/event/shaping-future-disaster-human-svcs).
I am also an instructional assistant for a fall 2024 undergraduate course, [Retrieving and Evaluating Electronic Information](https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/courses/retrieving-and-evaluating-electronic-information), in Rutgers University's [Information Technology and Informatics (ITI)](https://comminfo.rutgers.edu/undergraduate-programs/information-technology-and-informatics-major) undergraduate program.

* I've been spending time with friends from Swarthmore; I went with one friend to [The Newark Museum of Art](https://newarkmuseumart.org/).
