About Me

I'm a solutions and metrics-oriented analytics professional with a creative mindset towards problem-solving. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Audio and Acoustics from Columbia College Chicago. I worked as an Audio Engineer and Operations Manager in the music industry. I'm currently completing a Master's degree in Computational Analytics from Georgia Tech and I'm also working as a Corporate Compliance Analyst. My previous experience of working with talented artists equipped me to have a creative approach when tackling analytics projects. I believe that thinking creatively can sometimes be the best option to answer the toughest questions.
