About

I’m an early-career analyst who likes finding the story inside data. My background blends data science, economics, and computer science, which helps me approach problems from both a technical and business perspective.

Strengths

My best work happens when I can take a vague business problem, clean and analyze the data behind it, and turn the results into something clear, actionable, and easy for others to use.
