About

Part analyst, part builder, still learning on purpose.

My day job is customer operations. The part I keep gravitating to is the data behind it: for 3+ years I’ve built SQL pipelines, dashboards, and internal tools so my teams could find answers faster.

I’m finishing a BS in Data Science at the University of Phoenix while working, with a master’s in Information Systems planned next. The projects on this site are where the two meet: data turned into tools you can open and use.

so, who is she?

Get to know her

Hi, if you made it this far, thanks for sticking around. As I said in the beginning, this is not just a portfolio but also a personal project to express my creativity. I wanted this site to be a love letter to all the websites I grew up loving. While I can’t quite replicate Flash-- yet, I can certainly try. Some of my biggest inspirations were Bratz and Monster High, with a bit of Lizzie McGuire thrown in.

Currently, I'm finishing a BS in Data Science at the University of Phoenix, so the plan is data brain + frontend hands. To learn a bit more about me, check the rest of the file.
