What I'm looking for

I seek a data-focused role where I can apply statistical modeling and simulation skills, contribute to reproducible analyses, and continue learning in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a data scientist-in-training with a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, holding a B.S. in Mathematics with a Statistics minor and a Certificate in Data Science. I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA and am pursuing an M.S. in Data Science.

I have hands-on experience using R and Python for simulation, data cleaning, modeling, and advanced visualization, and I have run analyses testing statistical assumptions such as those for the Poisson distribution. My portfolio demonstrates simulation projects and a proseminar paper, and my GitHub hosts code examples.

My teaching and tutoring experience spans calculus, differential equations, and statistics at the college level, and I currently support instructors as a graduate teaching assistant and lead peer-learning sessions. I emphasize clear communication, verification of results, and reproducible documentation.

Driven by honesty, integrity, and accountability, I blend strong technical capabilities (R, Python, SQL, SAS, MATLAB, C, LaTeX) with leadership and teamwork—coaching peers, leading review sessions, and delivering customer-facing results in fast-paced environments.
