About

I'm an Analyst working at the crossroads of computer science and clinical research. While my background stems from the life sciences, programming has become my true passion since it allows me to leverage my creativity to build tools for others.

Currently, I work as a Senior Analyst on the Clinical Field Operations team at Edwards Lifesciences. My primary responsibilities include creating Power BI reports and developing Python scripts to make my team more efficient.

I will matriculate into the Georgia Institute of Technology's Online Master of Science in Computer Science program in Spring of 2026. My current plan is to specialize in Computing Systems with my electives focusing on Human Computer Interaction.
