About

I’m passionate about using data to uncover insights and create real value as a data analyst. As a young professional with a background in Business Engineering and a passion for technology and human-centered innovation, I started my career as a consultant at darwind, a consulting company that values a human-centered and "stretch" mindset. My international experiences in Germany and Taiwan have broadened my perspective and strengthened my adaptability. I believe in the power of growth, both professional and personal, and I am always looking for ways to create value for people and organizations. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring history and politics, always curious about the stories and ideas that shape our world.
