About

I am currently a student at Vanderbilt University pursuing majors in Mathematics and Spanish with minors in Data Science and Business. I am interested in combining these disciplines and using artificial intelligence to explore ways to improve accuracy and efficiency in business and technology. Throughout my life I have been driven by my love of problem solving. After taking classes this summer to improve my data science abilities, I used my new knowledge in machine learning to solve shipping issues for a South African logistics company. Similarly in high school, I taught myself Arduino and learned about image recognition models, so I could build a device to assist the visually impaired community. I am a driven individual who loves working with people and trying new things. I am eager to demonstrate my skills and apply my problem solving mentality in future opportunities.
