About Me
As a Project Lead for a data analytics consulting company in Arlington VA, I spearhead a talented team of data engineers and analysts delivering solutions that enable data-driven program management in the government. By transforming messy data into insights, and those insights into actions, I help my clients translate complex data into clear, actionable guidance for mission-critical decisions.
In July 2024, I earned my M.S. in Business Analytics from the Darden School of Business, where I developed skills in data science, business intelligence, and machine learning. I’ve since applied that foundation to drive impact, helping large complex organizations turn messy data into clear, actionable decisions.
AI is changing everything, from how we do tasks, to how we explore data, to how we think about analysis itself. If you’re curious, ambitious, and ready to get your hands dirty with tools that are shaping the future of where you will work, consider joining my course.
