I was born and raised in Orange County, just an hour south from where I currently live in LA. I'm told my personality meshes well with the southern California go with the flow vibes. I enjoy trying new things and taking on new challenges ultimately seeing if I think or swim.

I earned a Bachelor's degree from UCLA in Civil Engineering. I studied Civil Engineering because math and science were my favorite subjects in school and because buildings always fascinated me.

My interest in data started with reading the book Freakonomics. In the book, I found it extremely interesting how if you ask the right, probing questions of your dataset you can find seemingly unintuitive results. I enjoy the challenge and sense of discovery that comes with data science as your work towards exploring new information and potentially solving some of the world's biggest problems.

In my free time, I enjoy attending comedy shows and spending time with friends. I have take a few improvisation classes for fun. I love playing sports and played Lacrosse in High School and at UCLA. Today, I can be found playing soccer on a few different teams. I also have aspirations of owning a mountain bike.

I like to travel. I studied abroad in Barcelona for a summer and traveled around Europe afterwards. I also backpacked through most of the continent of South America with some friends from school post-graduation. For my next trip, I am looking towards Asia.
