I am a military musician with over 20 years of experience who is passionate about all things related to Data. Making a pivot into this analytical field, I hope to leverage my experience as a world-class musician, my proven ability to consistently embody discipline and excellence, and the skills required to bring together diverse entities to get the mission accomplished. Complementing my unique experience are my educational pursuits: I have completed 30 credits of Data Science-related courses (GPA 4.0) from the University of Maryland. I am well equipped to utilize and leverage the latest Business Intelligence (BI) tools and techniques to transform complex data into actionable insights and compelling narratives that support innovation and informed decision-making.
