I usually talk about myself at the end of these things to sift out the people just here for the highlights. So, thank you for making it this far.

I didn’t always know what I wanted to do. I didn’t have role models in my early adulthood to help guide me or inspire me professionally. So I made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of time. Which in hindsight I’m grateful for.

Early in my career I jumped between jobs, or held multiple of them, searching for something that felt fulfilling. I struggled to find a career that (1) held my interest long enough to commit to and (2) gave me a sense of satisfaction at the end of a work day. I knew I wanted to make an impact, but I just couldn’t see the right path forward.

That search eventually led me to the non-profit sector, where I worked with vulnerable populations across Orange County and Los Angeles — helping veterans experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals facing mental health challenges.

It was during this time that I discovered my fascination with data. I found myself drawn to projects involving numbers and data — identifying trends, uncovering insights, and using data to help my teams make decisions. I didn’t realize it then, but that was Business Intelligence and it was the missing piece I had been looking for in my career. I wouldn’t have known what BI or Data Science was until a few years later.

As time passed, I started to finally understand what people meant when they said “if you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work” (yup, cheesy). Determined to turn this passion into a career, I went back to school and earned my Master’s in Data Science at the University of Wisconsin — La Crosse. During grad school, I was offered an opportunity in Business Intelligence at a Fortune 500 global company, where I’ve been happily working at since. I get to work with people all around the world, on projects spanning clean energy, facility management, and finance.

Currently I freelance, write, teach, and learn about the ever growing world of data and business. What I love about this field is its versatility — it allows me to work with different kinds of industries and people, solve unique problems, and never stop learning.
