What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages teamwork, and allows me to apply my data science skills in impactful ways.

I am a data science graduate with a strong foundation in bioengineering and analytics. My hands-on experience in healthcare data, process optimization, and scientific research has equipped me with the skills necessary to thrive in fast-paced environments. I am passionate about breaking down complex information and supporting team growth through effective communication and collaboration.

In my current role as a Med-Legal Associate II at Spectrum Eval, I collaborate with doctors and team members to create comprehensive medical reports, train new associates, and develop documentation that simplifies complex concepts. Previously, I worked as an Engineer I at Mabplex USA Inc, where I maintained cell cultures and assisted in bioreactor processes, showcasing my ability to manage technical tasks and share insights through data visualization.

My academic achievements, including a Master of Science in Data Science and a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering, reflect my dedication to continuous learning and professional growth. I bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a commitment to exceeding expectations in every project I undertake.
