ABOUT ME

PROFESSIONAL DATA NERD BY DAY

Mathematics

I earned a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics degree, specializing in Data Science, from Norhteastern University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pure and Applied Mathematics, with a minor in Computer Science, from Boston University. My academic course selection, work experience, and analytical personality have enabled me to develop a comprehensive understanding of mathematics and computation at scale. My motivation to pursue graduate education comes from a standardized industry need for data-centric individuals who can optimize their work to an unprecedented degree and learn the fundamental methodologies to enable data-driven business success.

Passion

I enjoy exploring the relationships between numbers and translating digits into meaningful stories. These stories become actionable solutions and strategies for businesses, and I take pride in my ability to make data accessible to everyone.These stories become actionable solutions and strategies for businesses and I take pride in my ability to make data accessible to everyone. In a time where understanding and innovating with data has the undeniable potential to improve the way society functions, I aspire to leverage data to drive social change.

Data Science

I have extensive experience leveraging critical data science tools such as Python, R, SQL, and AWS (along with associated packages/libraries) to develop and scale client and internal facing dashboards, carry out extensive exploratory analyses, hack together bots to scrape, clean and process data, and most importantly serve the data needs and requests of c-suite executives, senior management, and data scientists / egnineers to drive product and business success.
