What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level data or analytics roles where I can apply Python and data analytics training, contribute to operational improvements, and grow within a collaborative, customer-focused team.

I am a Bachelor of Data Science student at University of Houston–Downtown with hands-on retail leadership experience, having served as Assistant Manager and multiple key-holder/supervisor roles where I led teams, managed operations, and drove sales performance.

I combine strong customer service, communication, and project-management skills with technical capability in Python and data analytics certifications from Google and Udemy to translate business needs into measurable outcomes.

I am motivated, dependable, and eager to apply data-driven decision making in internships or entry-level data roles while continuing to build practical experience in analytics and operational leadership.
