About

I'm a Senior Data 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.

While I work in analytics, I'm also completing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Tech during my free time. My focus areas include Human-Computer Interaction and Computing Systems with courses such as Computer Networks, Operating Systems, and Human-Computer Interaction.

And when I'm not working or studying, I love to tinker with video games! My favorite game to mod is Terraria using C# and tModloader. Stay tuned for updates on Power Pets and The Odyssey Mod!
