Experience in data acquisition and data modeling, statistical analysis, machine learning, deep learning, and NLP. With a background in Sales, I bring strong skills in team building and project management that help business development teams make informed choices. My love of data analysis began while performing research in the Neuroscience Lab when earning my B.S. in Experimental Psychology. Data has always been an interest of mine and I feel my education from the Flatiron School has given me the tools to break into the industry.
