I am a seasoned product DS with 6+ years of experience in consumer tech and economics consulting. At Uber, I am currently a Senior DS working on rider experience and engagement. Previously, I led science for all rider travel at Lyft. I also worked on Instagram Creator Ranking (under IG Relevance), focusing on Creator content distribution and production. I am a strong product thinker and passionate about uncovering user insights through data analytics and leveraging data to drive decision making. I am also an endurance athlete, and enjoy baking, hiking, pottery, and scuba diving in my free time.
