About

I am a Data Scientist and Economist acting as a bridge between complex quantitative data and strategic decision-making. Currently, I manage terabyte-scale datasets for a $15M+ federal research portfolio at Johns Hopkins Medicine, where I build automated workflows in R and Python to cut processing latency by 40%. Simultaneously, I am pursuing an M.S. in Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, focusing on Geopolitical Risk, Energy Economics, and Time-Series Forecasting. My academic foundation in Mathematics and Philosophy (St. John's College) trained me to analyze "complex systems", a concept I explored in my thesis on Tolstoy’s historiography. I now apply that same rigor to financial modeling and policy analysis. Core Competencies: Quantitative: R, Python, SQL, Stata, Monte Carlo Simulations, Econometrics. Strategic: Stakeholder Management, Policy Analysis, Archival Research. Interests: Energy Markets, Grid Transition, and the Wines of Burgundy.
