What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use data analysis, predictive modeling, visualization, and interactive applications to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights and support innovative decision-making.

I've analyzed and modeled complex research data at Washington State University, using Python, R, PostgreSQL, and Shiny to support scientific discovery and practical applications.

Across research and contract data analysis work, I clean, transform, query, visualize, and model data to produce meaningful results for technical and non-technical audiences. I build interactive Shiny apps, Tableau visualizations, and concise executive summaries that make complex analyses easier to use.

I've published peer-reviewed research, received the American Society of Enology and Viticulture's Paper of the Year award, and collaborated with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. I also mentor graduate students and contribute through technical writing, manuscript review, and research project design.
