About Me

I am a (very) recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, receiving both a BS in Informatics (data science track) and a BA in Economics.

I’m fascinated by the power of data and the various methods that, when applied to it, allow for incredible explanations of various phenomena.

Most of my experience comes from internships as a data scientist or research in Economics. Within each experience, the projects have required me to build intricate data pipelines that feed machine learning models and visualizations. This includes time-series, forecasting and clustering algorithms, as well as animated node graphs. You can see some of this work in my projects section, have a look!

I'm using An Introduction to Statistical Learning and some academic publications to try to most accurately predict FIFA World Cup games.

Noteable Coursework

Here are some of the classes I took as an undergrad that I found really interesting. I'd say these are the classes that had the biggest impact on how I think about technology, data, and problem solving.
