About

My career goals include utilizing my data science skills to give back, particularly in public health.

I also have experience applying my technical skills for wildfire prevention and debris calculations with the federal government. My hobbies include dancing, reading, and traveling. I am eager to connect with others and contribute to organizations committed to positive impacts.
