About Me

My journey into the data field began when a friend introduced me to data analytics and the use of SQL. The ability to manipulate and organize large data sets to provide insights fascinated me. In my exploration, I found myself learning not only about data, but also about web development and various other technological tools.

To find ways to improve my skills, I found many projects to work on including a google sheets student management system, a portfolio website, and a database for an application. I also picked up a job as a coding instructor to not only educate students, but also myself. Since then I have learned much more about data analytics, data engineering, and data architecture in my current company

My goal is to continue to open myself up to any learning opportunities in order grow and find ways to contribute to our society through data and tech!
