What I'm looking for

I seek data-focused roles where I can apply econometric methods and programming to solve real-world problems, collaborate on impactful projects, and continue learning technical and analytical skills.

I am a computational modeling and data analytics student with hands-on experience building panel datasets, conducting fixed-effects regressions, and creating interactive data visualizations. I blend programming (Python, R, SQL) with econometric methods to deliver actionable insights for clients and projects.

My work includes a county-level mortgage delinquency risk analysis for Bank of America, a multi-decade nutrition trends website, and instructional materials on orthogonal polynomial regression; I also have teaching experience as a coding instructor and math tutor, where I translate technical concepts into clear, engaging lessons.
