Hello there! Nice to meet you.
I am a research and data analytics professional with over six years of experience across multiple industries, including non-profit, higher education, tech, and e-commerce. My background includes working with the modern data tech stack doing research evaluation, business intelligence, and academic research.
More about me
Most of my work is a cross-section of human development, from early childhood to higher education and technology. As a first-generation graduate student and first-generation American, I care deeply about positivity impacting the communities that have existed before me by working on projects that create more equity for folks in all systems.
I have been known for being an insightful leader turning complex problems into smaller actions goals, and presenting information in an easily digestible way for all audiences - technical and non-technical alike. I’ve worked in non-profit, higher education, and for-profit technology companies.
When I am not working on projects, you can find me taking long walks in the park, watching turtles sunbathe, and listening to good storytelling or tech podcasts.
