More about Me

Data analyst with a background in physics and skills in Excel, VBA, Python, and SQL from a certificate from Michigan State University’s data analytics boot camp. Experienced in laboratory research and reporting, seeking to leverage that background and skill set to perform detailed, data-driven analysis. Recently completed a project in a team of three using data sets from insideairbnb.com, Python, JavaScript, and Leaflet to visualize AirBNB distributions in San Diego, CA, from fall of 2022. Thrives in environments where existing strengths in Python and statistics can be augmented with new technology and techniques.
