(All of my content is my personal views and opinions) 

Thanks for checking out my page! I am a data professional with years of experience in data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, dashboarding, and other data requirements.

I am an engineer turned data expert with extensive experience providing insights through data. I discovered my passion for data while completing my B.S. in Chemical Engineering and I went on to receive my M.S. in Data Science & Analytics!

I am a strong critical thinker, with robust technical skills that are healthily balanced with intuition and an innate ability to communicate data. I live to see the lightbulb moment when I’m discussing topics with people!

How can we help each other?

Throughout my schooling and professional career, I have always enjoyed helping my peers and coworkers. With LinkedIn and Medium, I'm casting a wider net! Reach out, connect, follow, or just pass through. Whatever floats your boat and best of luck on your journey!

Analytical Dental Hygienist

I’ve always seen data as more than numbers in rows and columns: it’s a story waiting to be told. But stories can get lost when the data is messy, scattered, or hard to trust.

That’s why I build modular, trustworthy data workflows that make stories clearer, more reliable, and ready to power both analytics and automation. Using SQL, Python, DuckDB, and Git, I design data systems that are reproducible, collaborative, and scalable, so data teams don’t just crunch numbers, they build knowledge that lasts.

My work blends engineering discipline with analytical curiosity. I focus on quality, clarity, and governance, especially in healthcare, where data decisions have real impacts on people’s lives. To me, data systems shouldn’t just aim for performance, they should also be responsible, supporting ethical AI, better patient outcomes, and more human-centric technology.

At the heart of it all, I believe clean, well-structured data is the foundation of every story worth telling, whether that’s a business insight, a machine learning model, or a decision that shapes someone’s future.
