About

I'm an M.S. Information Management candidate at the University of Washington, bringing a unique blend of Marine Biology, data analysis, and leadership experience to every role I take on. With a B.S. in Marine Biology and a minor in Quantitative Science, I have a strong foundation in scientific research and technical analysis that I now apply to broader information management challenges. My goal is to leverage these skills to deliver data-driven insights with measurable impact to future roles and internships with revamped skills in data analyze and programming language efficiency.
