<p>I'm a lifelong learner and always curious. I am a full-stack machine learning developer with practical experience in every stage of the data lifecycle.</p>
<p>After working in bioinformatics at a virology lab, I earned a master's from one of the highest-ranking information schools in the US and traveled to research and write about global airport cities and aerotropolises. To deepen my expertise in data science and artificial intelligence, I completed Springboard's intensive machine learning engineering certification program.</p>
<p>My experiences in many fields of work and study enable a multifaceted approach to mastering new concepts and solving problems in a variety of contexts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Formal education provided a solid foundation in academic writing, critical thinking, quantitative methods, and human subjects research.</li>
<li>As a CEO's executive assistant, I practiced creative problem-solving.</li>
<li>Customer service roles cultivated patience.</li>
<li>Self-employment honed my grit and resilience.</li>
<li>Logistics and moving companies taught me how it feels to work with my hands.</li>
<li>Multinational collaboration developed cultural awareness.</li>
<li>Sales and office roles have further nurtured my people skills.</li>
</ul>
<p>Business is about people. People make decisions — not companies. So let's guide our decisions with evidence and data. Hit me up and we can talk more.</p>
