About Me

Where data meets creative strategy

I'm a data analytics and ecommerce professional with a passion for turning complex datasets into clear, actionable strategies. Currently pursuing my MBA, Concentration: Data Analytics, I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and creative thinking to every project.

With roots in Seal Beach, California, I've built my career at the intersection of data science and digital commerce, helping brands scale smarter, not just bigger. From inventory optimization to customer behavior analysis, I love uncovering the stories hidden in the numbers.

Outside of work, I'm a Southern California native and never too far from the ocean. Most days you'll find me with my red merle Australian Shepherd, River, my kids, and a half-formed plan—usually involving trails, beaches, or both.
