After graduating with an MBA, my professional journey began with a strong foundation in public service, where I honed my analytical and investigative skills as a Compliance Officer for the US Department of Labor. This experience instilled in me a deep commitment to upholding standards and ensuring fairness. Seeking a more hands-on approach to community building, I then joined the Peace Corps, where I had the privilege of working alongside diverse communities and contributing to meaningful projects, like one where I found a closet full of broken computers, pieced them together, and made an Internet lab for the local kids.

​

Building on this foundation, I dived head first love: the English languuage. I wrote, edited, and taught, doing anything I could to maintain this affair. From there I learned about SEO optimization and social media engagement, and thriving on transforming complex information into clear and engaging content, whether it's a scholarly article, a marketing campaign, or a technical document.

​

But now my story is coming back full circle. I recall fondly my past relationship with Excel and data cleaning and analysis with the Department of Labor. To get back into shape, I jumped into online courses, refreshing my SQL skills, learning R, and getting a Certificate in Data Analysis from Google.
