Biography

 

I am a recent graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill, embarking on the online Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) at UC Berkeley, and actively seeking full-time roles in the data science field while I pursue my studies part-time. With relevant work experience in data science and a degree in Applied Mathematics and minors in Data Science and Information Systems, I bring a strong foundation in advanced mathematics and analytics. My experience includes working through my undergraduate studies while managing the @stem357 Instagram account with over 100,000 followers, where I promote STEM careers. This demonstrates my capability to balance significant responsibilities, and I am fully prepared to continue working full-time while pursuing my master's degree. Passionate about leveraging data to solve complex problems, I am eager to apply my skills in a dynamic professional environment.
