About me

In 2023, I began exploring the world of data analytics. I have always had a love for organizing information, learning and relaying new information, and solving problems. So when I started reading about data analytics as a career, a job where I get to help people solve problems by exploring data, tinkering with code, and sharing what I’ve learned, my interest was immediately piqued. To transform this interest into a reality, I have been spending time learning new skills using Microsoft SQL Server, Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and Python, as well as refining my skills in Microsoft Excel. As I continue to prepare for a career in data analytics, my goal is to combine these new skills with those I learned while earning my bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering and working in the lab. My experience analyzing experimental data, critical thinking skills, ability to work in a fast-paced environment, and drive to evolve with an ever-changing field will be invaluable in the world of data analysis.

Since graduating, I have also continued to collaborate remotely with my former coworkers to publish our research. This has included working independently and attending weekly meetings with members of Dr. Teresa Murray’s lab from Louisiana Tech University and Dr. Linda Larson-Prior’s lab from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences to determine goals for our publications, update the team on the objectives completed individually, and present ideas to further progress our research.
