As the Research Assistant, I was responsible for both managerial and detail-oriented tasks to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the IS job index. I leveraged on my high attention to detail to clean and analyze 1,500 rows of data from 44 universities nationwide. From the analysis, I created 45 customized reports for each participating university to compare data against national averages. Lastly, I collaborated with 5 stakeholders to create print reports to be distributed nationwide. Throughout the entire process, I collaborated and communicated effectively with over 50 chairs and faculty of universities in coordinating survey distribution, payment, and other logistics.
