Welcome to my page!
With over a decade of experience spanning both academia and industry, my journey has been fueled by a love for science and data analysis, alongside a dedication to continuous learning and teaching others skills that enable personal and professional growth.
As a professional who wears multiple hats, I believe this versatility makes me a better problem-solver. I thrive on tackling challenges head-on, continually expanding my diverse skill set and collaborating effectively to discover efficient solutions. As someone who grew up in different cultures and has called different countries my home, I believe that diversity enriches our understanding and approaches to problem-solving, making us more innovative and empathetic.
Proud of my accomplishments and collaborations with various teams and individuals, I am excited for the opportunity to tackle a wider array of impactful projects.
