What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my data science expertise to drive impactful business decisions.

I am a seasoned Data Scientist with over 10 years of experience in machine learning and data analytics. My journey began with a strong foundation in economics and finance, leading me to develop data-driven strategies that drive revenue and enhance customer engagement. At CVS Health, I have successfully implemented XGBoost regression models to optimize customer offers and improve retention rates.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to integrate various data sources and ensure timely deployment of marketing campaigns. My technical expertise spans multiple programming languages and tools, including Python, R, and SQL, allowing me to analyze complex datasets and derive actionable insights. I am passionate about teaching and have shared my knowledge as a faculty member at Johnson & Wales University, where I taught Forecasting and Time Series Analysis to graduate students.

My experience at Sallie Mae and FocusKPI, Inc. has equipped me with a diverse skill set in predictive modeling, statistical analysis, and report generation. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my analytical skills to solve real-world problems and contribute to organizational success.
