I am a problem solver that is fascinated by the human condition and the markets around me. Ever since I was a child, I employed strategic thinking whenever I could. These strategies would produce impactful work throughout my collegiate studies and my career. Determining and implementing a proper strategy remains important to me today. Performing statistical analysis over data sets, creating forecasts, and determining how I can manipulate individual parts of a mechanism to align with a predetermined goal are passions of mine. My vigor for these activities led my work in the fields of applied mathematics and business. Mathematics is a field of natural science, and its simplicity continues to vex me. There is elegance in how the extraordinary can be computed in fractions of a second, visualized clearly, and proven rigorously. That beauty continues to fascinate me, especially when it comes to statistics - the scientific field where analysis and understanding are at the forefront of its research. By understanding numbers, I better understand the world around me. By understanding, change can occur.Business intrigues me for its many complexities - the separate divisions, the diverse operations, and the regular everyday activities. In many ways, a business is a living entity. Much like individuals, businesses strive for greatness. The art of business is to improve all other entities around you, and that complex challenge draws me to the business sector. Strategic planning, statistical analysis, and businesses continue to captivate me. I hope to enhance productivity, efficiency, and creativity wherever I go through my work in those areas.
