About

As an Advisory Services Analyst at Mathematica, I specialized in Medicaid data reporting and program improvement. With a strong foundation in data analysis and a passion for uncovering insights, I am eager to transition into a dedicated data analytics role. I am particularly interested in leveraging data to drive strategic decision-making and improve healthcare outcomes. I am continuously expanding my skills in data visualization and statistical analysis to prepare for this next step in my career.
