Hello, I am

Data Science Professional | Turning complex data into impactful, real-world solutions

Who am I ?

Data Sciene Graduate Student - Indiana University Bloomington

I’m a data science professional with 2+ years of experience in client-facing roles across healthcare, pharma, e-commerce, manufacturing, and enterprise software. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems through data, and my experience spans across analytics, data engineering, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI — building predictive models, streamlining pipelines, and driving impactful insights.

Outside of work, I’m a naturally curious and creative soul. Whether I’m sketching out an idea, getting lost in a book (currently diving into The Alchemist), or writing to reflect and unwind. I speak six languages and thrive in conversations that cross cultures and perspectives. I also enjoy stepping into leadership roles and have been actively involved in student and professional organizations throughout my journey.
