What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, where I can apply my analytical skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated systems analyst with a strong background in applied economics and biology. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of North Carolina, followed by a Master’s in Applied Economics from the University of Maryland. Since July 2019, I have been working at Freddie Mac, where I have honed my skills in product management and agile methodologies, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, including the creation of data pipelines and governance for Snowflake data warehouses. My role involves not only defining test cases and acceptance criteria but also automating Python test scripts to ensure data integrity. I thrive in environments that challenge me to gather requirements and translate them into functional specifications, ensuring alignment among stakeholders and vendors.

With experience as an operations analyst and a strong foundation in data analysis using tools like Excel and SQL, I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve business processes. I am currently expanding my expertise by exploring blockchain technologies through a dedicated bootcamp, aiming to integrate innovative solutions into my work.
