As an Uncertainty Quantification intern at NASA Langley Research Center, I applied my PhD in Statistics and my passion for data science to solve challenging problems in aerospace engineering and science. I worked with a multidisciplinary team of experts to develop and implement novel methods and tools for quantifying and reducing uncertainties in complex simulations and experiments. With over 3 years of teaching and consulting experience, I have honed my skills in data analysis, data visualization, and R programming, and have shared my knowledge and insights with diverse audiences and clients. I have also contributed to multiple patents, publications, and awards in the fields of statistics, data science, and impairment rating. My goal is to leverage my expertise and values to advance the frontiers of science and technology and to make a positive impact on society.

Cosmopolitan coder; comfortable and experienced across the stack, having worked on kernel drivers, web services, local applications, and rich user interfaces. I am looking for up to 30 hours of work per week but open to full-time, either solving real problems for real users, or building something with the potential to make the world a better place (ideally both). I'm open to remote work or on-site in the East Bay or San Francisco.

Hello! I'm Amanda. And I'm on a mission to build great brands and experiences that drive transformative revenue growth and create lasting impact. My marketing career began at Apple, where I learned the ins and outs of brand marketing, the power of storytelling, and how to create memorable experiences that turn customers into lifelong advocates. Leveraging this foundation, I've successfully launched and scaled companies in both B2C and B2B SaaS, from seed to series C/acquisition. I'm passionate about building and being part of mission-driven teams and products. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of building and scaling high-performing teams and systems from the ground up, finding innovative ways to drive repeatable, scalable demand and profitable revenue for high-growth startups. I collaborate with founders, product, and sales teams to develop effective go-to-market strategies — diving deep into market analysis, identifying our unique value proposition and ICP, and crafting messaging that resonates with customers and inspires action. Planning and executing integrated marketing strategies is something I thrive on — optimizing spend, channel mix, messaging, and creative — to amplify reach and accelerate growth. With over 15 years of leadership and hands-on marketing experience, I know how to transform high-level strategies into tangible results and inspire teams to continuously experiment, learn, and grow. Whether you want to talk shop, share ideas, or explore opportunities to work together, I’d love to connect. You can reach me at Amanda@theamrie.com

With an outstanding work ethic, willingness to learn, and passion to make this world a better place, I am positioned to exceed expectations in a research position. I have become deeply interested in environmental issues through my work as a double major in environmental studies and biology at Swarthmore College. Most recently I completed a summer internship with the NASA student airborne research program where I completed a project focused on the climate implications of aerosolized dust coming from the Saharan Desert. Other research experience includes a semester in Iceland where I was engaged in environmental studies focused curriculum and fieldwork and completed a research project on climate change and marine microplastics.
