A programmer by trade, and a creative at heart, I’m a small-town, Southern native with big data aspirations.
From my early days experimenting with robotics to obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, my journey has been driven by a fascination with technology and its vast possibilities.
My career took a pivotal turn during an internship as a Digital Product Analyst at Disney, where I ventured beyond traditional software engineering into the vibrant world of product management and analytics. This experience unveiled my passion for data science—merging rigorous analysis with strategic thinking to unlock innovative solutions and insights.
At Disney, I was not just analyzing data; I was telling stories with it, influencing product decisions, and enhancing user experiences. My projects ranged from optimizing in-app experiences with A/B testing to enhancing user engagement through strategic data insights, all grounded in my commitment to making technology accessible and inclusive. This passion for accessibility—from improving screen readers to implementing captioning—stems from a belief that technology should serve everyone, seamlessly integrating into all aspects of life.
After a fruitful tenure in data science with the Central Intelligence Agency, where I honed my skills in data manipulation, analysis, and visualization, I transitioned to a new role as a Data Scientist with Guidehouse. In this capacity, I apply my technical expertise to drive significant improvements in operational efficiency and strategic decision-making, contributing to mission-critical projects that leverage data science for national security.
Looking forward, I am eager to delve deeper into the challenges of data science, particularly in how data-driven strategies can be leveraged to not only improve business outcomes but also make a positive societal impact. With each dataset and every project, I strive to transform complex data into clear, actionable insights that pave the way for informed decisions and innovative solutions.
Join me on my journey as I explore the intersection of data science and social good, striving to make a difference one analysis at a time.
