About Me



I am an MS Business Analytics and Project Management candidate at the University Of Connecticut, undergoing intensive formal training in various aspects of analytics and project planning.

Before my master's, I worked for ~6 years in consumer management and product development in the Finance industry. I enjoy participating in market research and product analytics as they allow me to fuse my technical and business acumen to design sustainable product strategies.

I look forward to working with a world-class analytics team in the future where I can combine my soft skills, business acumen, and technological knowledge to tackle challenging problems!

When I'm not at work I like spending time, playing outdoor sports, or in social reform conversations.
