About

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Politics and Data Science at University College Dublin, where my focus lies in applying advanced data analytics to solve complex political and societal challenges. With a background in politics and Irish from my undergraduate studies, I bring a unique interdisciplinary approach to data-driven decision-making and policy analysis. By combining my understanding of political systems with data science tools, I aim to contribute to innovative solutions that address real-world issues such as governance, public health, and civic engagement. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve developed strong technical skills in Python, R, and SQL, along with expertise in machine learning, data visualization, and statistical modeling. My coursework and projects have involved using data science techniques to analyze voter behavior, public policy outcomes, and social data trends. These experiences have equipped me to bridge the gap between political theory and data analysis. With experience in statistical modeling, data visualization, and natural language processing, I am committed to deepening my knowledge in data science and applying it to diverse sectors, including public policy, finance, and technology. I am actively seeking opportunities in data science, machine learning, analytics, and artificial intelligence, where I can contribute to data-driven solutions and continuous innovation.
