About

Hey there! Welcome to my blog! I use this as a place to share some of the interesting insights that I found during recent projects and share other tidbits that I feel may be useful to fellow data scientists. Please peruse and enjoy!

How I got here

I moved out to San Francisco in 2017 to work at a FinTech startup. I’ve had a few different roles over the past several years and always enjoyed the work that I was doing but realized that there were hard limits to what I could offer in most of the operations roles I’d found myself in. It was only after moving to San Francisco and seeing so many diverse backgrounds that I started to believe I could fill more technical roles like that of a data scientist.

Before joining the business world, I majored in Classical French Horn Performance at the Manhattan School of Music in NYC where I studied with members of the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera.

On weekends you can find me playing 2v2 volleyball… Feel free to say hi if you see me!

Some other fun facts:

• Always down to watch a good B-grade Sci-Fi show (I wish they never canceled Dark Matter!)
• Still occasionally play orchestra concerts, most recently with Mozart to Mendelssohn, part of SF Civic Music
• Recently started snowboarding and am thinking of starting surfing (I know, I’m really embracing the California lifestyle)
• I love when someone proves me wrong about something!
