About.

I'm a sophomore at UC Santa Barbara pursuing a B.S. in Statistics & Data Science alongside a B.A. in Economics, with a minor focus in cybersecurity through coursework in intermediate Python.

Right now I'm on the data team at the Daily Nexus, building visualizations on campus topics in Datawrapper. Before that I built internal Streamlit dashboards at FaxionAI, taught math at Mathnasium, and contributed research at iFeminist.

I'm looking for roles where data informs real decisions: analytics, quantitative research, or data science.
