Introduction
As a Data Science major at Northern Arizona University (graduating May 2026) with dual minors in Mathematics and Statistics, I am passionate about using data to uncover patterns, generate insights, and solve real-world problems.
My technical foundation includes programming languages such as Python, R, SQL, Java, and C, complemented by experience with SAP Analytics Cloud, Excel, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Office. Beyond academics, I have applied these skills in both research, developing deep learning models to analyze volcanic landforms through the NASA Space Grant Research Program, and in industry, streamlining financial data workflows and eliminating $162.5M in obsolete records during my internship with the City of Phoenix ERP Division.
Looking ahead, I aim to apply data science to drive positive impact in public and private sector industries, leveraging analytics to inform decisions, improve systems, and support communities through evidence-based strategies.
