ABOUT ME


I am a driven Data Analyst with experience in multiple programming languages such as Python and JavaScript from Washington University Saint Louis’s data visualization boot camp. I am comfortable using a variety of technologies such as Pandas, MatplotLib, D3.js, Plotly.js, as well as HTML and CSS. I can utilize these languages and technologies to effectively pull meaningful information from data, both visually and empirically. I earned my boot camp certificate while working full time as a Project Manager for my family’s business. As a Project Manager I utilize my attention to detail and ability to communicate effectively on a daily basis.I recently completed a project with a team of three, where we used Python and data from eia.gov, noaa.gov, and census.gov to determine the effect of weather on natural gas usage in the US. I am passionate about creating solutions to complex problems, and my analytical thinking combined with my ability to learn and adapt quickly make me a great addition to any team.
