I’ve been analyzing data since I was a kid collecting baseball cards.
Now as an adult, I’m especially excited by opportunities where I can help businesses understand their customers, optimize performance, and tell compelling stories with numbers. I’m looking to grow in roles that challenge me to keep learning—whether that’s through creating visualizations, building dashboards, or diving deeper into predictive models, or programming languages. At the end of the day, I follow my curiosity and desire to make things work better, one insight at a time.
My early background in restaurants, hospitality, and retail taught me to think on my feet, connect with people, and solve problems in real time. Working in fast-paced environments taught me to spot patterns quickly and make data-informed decisions long before I had the title to match. My transition into my current field felt natural. I’ve always been drawn to uncovering the “why” behind what people do.
When I’m not deep in a dataset, I’m probably losing discs on a disc golf course, watching a game with too many tabs of stats open, or on a road trip with a tent in the trunk and a peaceful destination. Music’s always in the background. I’m usually jamming out to something that speaks to my soul, or formulating a new composition.
