About Me

I'm a Management Information Systems student at California State University, Sacramento, finishing my degree this Fall 2026 with a 3.6 GPA and five Dean's Honor List recognitions.

My work sits at the intersection of data and business. On the technical side, I've built Python forecasting models, designed relational databases from scratch, and created Power BI dashboards, most recently for the ICBSC 2026 simulation, where Hornet Inc. ranked #1 worldwide in financial health. Outside the technical work, I've managed 20 staff in a live dining environment and served on a Finance & Budget Committee overseeing $12 million in student funding.

I'm drawn to roles where analysis drives real decisions. If you need someone who can move between a SQL query and a stakeholder presentation without missing a beat, let's connect.
