About

I’m a Master of Science in Analytics candidate at Georgia Tech, driven by using data to inform strategic decisions and solve real-world problems.

Outside of work and study, I’m usually exploring new food spots or planning my next travel adventure. I’m currently seeking Summer 2026 internships in Analytics and Product roles where I can leverage my technical skills and business intuition to build user-centered, data-driven solutions.
