The Analyst Behind the Data

I've always been fascinated by information and how everything is interconnected — especially how big changes ripple through systems or how the right insight at the right time changes the trajectory of history or a business.

This curiosity and strong analytical thinking led me to study Business Administration at UC Irvine, where I found that data is the language that underpins how businesses work. This discovery spurred me to learn to speak data fluently, use it for storytelling and predictive analysis, and deliver insights through consultant-level executive presentations.

My skill set positions me to solve complex business analytics problems end-to-end. I believe businesses operating at their best make the world a better place, and I want to be the analyst who helps make that happen.
