What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, product-focused role where I can apply statistical modeling and data visualization to drive actionable insights, grow toward product leadership, and work on cross-functional teams.

I am a Cognitive Science graduate with a Data Science minor from the University of Southern California, experienced in statistical modeling, time-series forecasting, and structured data analysis. I translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations, having supported brain and cognitive science research at MIT, financial forecasting for M&A strategy, and operational improvements in clinical settings.

My background blends rigorous quantitative skills (Python, SQL, Excel/VBA, Power BI, Tableau) with cross-functional collaboration and product-minded thinking—designing reproducible workflows, presenting findings to senior stakeholders, and coordinating high-impact events. I bring a pragmatic, user-focused approach and international experience in team leadership through competitive athletics and coaching.
