MS Applied Data Science

Turning data
into decisions

Graduate researcher with a passion for machine learning, statistical modeling, and building tools that make complex data accessible to everyone.

AM

A data scientist in the making

I'm a second-year master's student in Applied Data Science, focused on the intersection of machine learning and real-world decision making. My coursework spans statistical learning, deep learning, and data engineering.

Before graduate school I worked as a business analyst, which gave me a deep appreciation for how data insights need to be communicated — not just computed — to drive change.

Outside of code, I enjoy trail running, cooking, and reading about the philosophy of science.
