What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that promote data literacy and foster innovation in data science.

I am a passionate data enthusiast with a vision to foster data literacy for individuals across various industries. My journey in data science and analytics has been marked by a commitment to demystifying complex data concepts and making them accessible to learners at all levels. Currently, I serve as a Curriculum Developer and Instructor at Dawson College, where I have developed comprehensive course content in Data Science and AI, ensuring alignment with industry standards. My teaching approach emphasizes engaging and interactive learning, which has earned me a 4.9 rating over two course iterations.

In my previous roles as a Data Scientist at Scotiabank and Veeva Systems, I successfully conceptualized and implemented advanced machine learning models that significantly optimized processes and improved accuracy in predictions. My experience spans various sectors, including finance and healthcare, where I have utilized my skills in Python, SQL, and machine learning frameworks to drive impactful results. I am dedicated to continuous learning and sharing knowledge, which I believe is essential in the ever-evolving field of data science.
