About

I’m a Data Science and Global Health student at Northwestern University passionate about using data to improve healthcare systems, clinical outcomes, and organizational decision-making. My work sits at the intersection of analytics, healthcare operations, and research. At Michigan Medicine, I support executive-ready clinical reporting by extracting and structuring Epic EMR data into REDCap registries, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and actionable insights across complex patient datasets. At Eurofins, I design SQL-driven reporting tools and automate operational workflows using Excel and VBA, reducing manual processes and improving decision efficiency for business teams. Across roles, I’m drawn to building durable data systems — whether that means cleaning and validating patient-level data, designing financial reporting dashboards, or translating complex datasets into clear, stakeholder-friendly insights. I enjoy solving ambiguous problems, creating structure where it doesn’t exist, and developing tools that continue delivering value long after they’re deployed. Technically, I work with SQL, Python, R, Excel (advanced functions, VBA), Power BI, and statistical modeling. Professionally, I bring strong attention to detail, organizational rigor, and the ability to communicate complex findings clearly to non-technical audiences. I’m particularly interested in careers at the intersection of healthcare analytics, business intelligence, and data strategy — where technical depth meets real-world impact. Always open to connecting with others interested in healthcare, analytics, and data-driven decision-making.
