I’m a data analyst who turns complex data into actionable insights. After graduating with a Cognitive Science degree from UCLA, I worked in product design, partnering with startups to deliver user-centric solutions across the product lifecycle. This experience honed my skills in creating impactful, intuitive products.
Driven by a growing interest in leveraging data to improve decision-making, I transitioned to data science, completing a 12-week immersive bootcamp with General Assembly focused on Python, SQL, and Tableau. My projects demonstrate expertise in cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing data to support business goals, with a particular interest in NLP to enhance user experiences.
I’m seeking a data role where I can combine my design and data expertise to contribute to product-focused teams. My unique blend of skills in data-driven decision-making, design thinking, and machine learning positions me to deliver value and grow with a dynamic team.

I discovered my passion for painting at the age of five, and it has been a cornerstone of my creativity ever since. My work focuses mainly on painting with acrylics and oils on canvas. This artistic background enhances my ability to approach challenges with innovation and a unique perspective.

When I’m not working or painting, you’ll find me indulging in my love for movies—especially horror. If you haven’t watched “The Haunting of Hill House” yet, I would definitely recommend it. I’m also a Pilates enthusiast (because running just felt too cliché for a quarter-life crisis) and enjoy spending quality time with my dog, who is always by my side. Cooking is another hobby I enjoy, and I’ve been known to make a mean chili. Fun fact: despite loving the ocean, I have a bit of a fear of mermaids (“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” managed to scar me for life).
I’m excited to connect with like-minded individuals who value creativity, curiosity and a good laugh :)
