I’m a data professional who is passionate about storytelling through the analysis and visualization of data.I have a master’s degree in Marine Resource Assessment with experience working as a biologist in the commercial fishing industry, and I have learned from my years as an intermediary between academia and the public at large that quality experimental design and analytics are at their most useful when paired with effective communication of those ideas. I believe that the trends and patterns uncovered through data-driven investigation are frivolous unless those insights can be effectively and concisely communicated to those that need them for decision-making. To translate complicated analyses and machine learning models into accessible, informative insights is my greatest strength and my passion.I am skilled in SQL and Python programming, with additional proficiencies in Power BI, MATLAB, Tableau, and Qualtrics, as well as many analytical Python packages. My most recent projects include application of a Random Forest Classifier to predict wildfire destruction, and a regression-centric approach to forecasting crowd levels and wait lines at amusement parks.
