I am energized by creating and telling data-empowered stories that bring actionable insights in front of both internal and external audiences. I appreciate all opportunities when I get to stretch my data science muscles through projects that uncover rich insights incorporating both qualitative and quantitive methods to inform my audiences’ future actions. Besides wearing the hat of a Data Scientist, as Associate Director of Business Intelligence & Growth Enablement, I enjoy partnering with my amazing teammates in all aspects of client development endeavors like leading door opening activities and overseeing our proposal generation pipeline.
