What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my data science skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that drive business success.

I am a dedicated and passionate individual pursuing a Master of Science in Data Science at Johns Hopkins University, building on my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of California, Riverside. My academic background has equipped me with a solid understanding of applied mathematics and economics, which I leverage in my current role as a Teacher at C2 Education, where I tutor students across various educational levels.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have honed my data science skills through internships at Vivum AI and Breinify Inc. At Vivum AI, I developed predictive models and collaborated with teams to enhance machine learning applications. My role at Breinify involved utilizing SQL for data extraction and creating insightful visualizations with Tableau and Power BI, which helped inform critical business decisions. I am committed to continuous learning and applying my skills to real-world challenges.
